HC Deb 19 March 1973 vol 853 cc29-30W
Mr. Knox

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer from information available from international sources, what was the gross domestic product per head at factor cost in Canada for the most recent year for which information is available; and how this compares with the figure for the United Kingdom.

Mr. Nott

In 1971 gross domestic product per head at factor cost in Canada was £1,525. The comparable figure for the United Kingdom in 1971 was £854. The Canadian figure has been converted from Canadian dollars into sterling on the basis of average daily exchange rates in London but these do not necessarily reflect differences in international purchasing power.
