HC Deb 05 July 1976 vol 914 cc418-9W
Mr. John Moore

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in the Official Report a table showing for each present member State of the EEC the rate of economic growth in each year since 1945.

Mr. Denzil Davies

Except where stated otherwise, the available information relates to gross national product at constant market prices for the years 1950 to 1960 and to gross domestic product at constant market prices for the years 1960 to 1974, and is as follows:

tion cost of each issue; how many people are engaged part-time or full-time on the editorial side; who is sent a copy of each issue; and what is the cost of this distribution.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

There have been 10 issues of VAT News; 1.5 million were printed for each of numbers 1 to 5 and 1.35 million for each of numbers 6 to 10. The production cost of each issue was:

Number £
1 37,282
2 23,062
3 34,500
4 20,700
5 21,522
6 35,236
7 27,973
8 22,310
9 35,995
10 23,000 (estimated)

The editing of VAT News occupies a small part of the time of two officials wholly engaged in the preparation of VAT guidance for the public and officials. It is sent to VAT registered traders, certain trade associations and others who have requested it. The current distribution cost is of the order of £110,000 per issue.
