HC Deb 10 February 1972 vol 830 c431W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the number of jobs created on the basis that Great Britain achieved a sustained growth rate of 5 per cent. per year in the period 1972 to 1975.

Mr. Higgins

A sustained growth rate of 5 per cent. a year would be expected to lead to a substantial increase in employment. But it is not Government practice to publish forecasts of the level of employment.
