HC Deb 05 May 1977 vol 931 c282W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the present per capita income of the people of the Solomon Islands.

Mr. Luard

According to the latest available estimate, that of the World Bank, GNP per capita in 1974 was US$ 310. This figure is very tentative due to the absence of comprehensive statistics and the difficulty of estimating income in the subsistence sector.
