§ Mr. Bruce-Gardyneasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the percentage ratio of corporate profits, net of stock appreciation and capital formation, to gross domestic product at factor cost in 1963, 1964, 1971 and 1972; and if he will state from information obtained from international sources, the corresponding figures for the United States, the Federal Republic of Germany, and Japan.
§ Mr. NottAlthough this information is not at present available from data collected by United Nations or OECD, figures for the United States and Japan, derived from national accounts data published by those countries, are given in the following table. The figures may not be strictly comparable with each other or with those for the United Kingdom. Data for the Federal Republic of Germany are not available. Figures are also shown as a percentage of national income since this includes capital consumption.
