HC Deb 19 April 1972 vol 835 c119W
Mr. Knox

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much productivity rose for all industries and services in each of the last five years.

Mr. Nott

Percentage increases over the previous year in gross domestic product at constant prices per person employed are as follows:

1967 3.1
1968 4.7
1969 2.4
1970 2.7
1971 (provisional) 3.5

The estimates of gross domestic product are based on output statistics. Persons employed include employees, employers and self-employed persons; full-time and part-time workers are all counted as full units. The figures are published regularly in the Monthly Digest of Statistics.
