HC Deb 21 January 1976 vol 903 cc489-90W
Mr. Hordern

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will provide figures showing central and local government current expenditure on goods and services at constant prices as a proportion of GNP for each year from 1945.

Mr. Denzil Davies

Proportions calculated from estimates at constant prices depend upon the set of constant prices

that year, we estimate that about 0.029 per cent. of cattle originating from the Irish Republic and slaughtered in 1974 were infected, compared with 0.0021 per cent, of cattle originating from the United Kingdom. The corresponding figures for the first nine months of 1975 are 0.018 per cent, and 0.0017 per cent, respectively.
