HC Deb 24 January 1974 vol 867 c316W
Dr. Dickson Mabon

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the increase in industrial output between 1966 and 1973 in Scotland ; and what was the comparable figure for the United Kingdom.

Mr. Nott

Information is available on industrial production in Scotland only up to 1971 and the index of production is currently being revised. The unrevised index for total industrial production was 3 per cent. higher in 1971 than in 1966 ; the corresponding increase for the United Kingdom was 11 per cent.
