HC Deb 11 November 1976 vol 919 cc262-3W
Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if, further to his answer to the hon. Member for Louth on 25th October, he will set out in the Official Report details of the purpose of the activities of those employed in the Economics and Statistics Division 6A(1) of his Department.

Mr. Les Huckfield

The statistics produced in Economics and Statistics Division 6A(1) form an important part of the information available on the financial condition of industry. Such information is needed by the Government for the formulation of economic and financial policies and is of value to all those concerned with company finance.
