HC Deb 29 June 1978 vol 952 c622W
19. Mr. Knox

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer by how much the index of industrial production has risen since July 1970 and since March 1974.

Mr. Joel Barnett

It is estimated that industrial output in recent months is slightly above the average in the first three months of 1974, and some 3 per cent. or so above that in the third quarter of 1970.
