HC Deb 20 February 1981 vol 999 c257W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Prime Minister if she will now publish in the Official Report a table showing for the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom's principal competitors the increase in the money supply as a percentage of money gross domestic product in, respectively, 1950 to 1959, 1960 to 1969 and 1970 to 1979.

The Prime Minister

The basic information needed to derive these percentages may be obtained from the individual country pages in "International Financial Statistics Yearbook 1980" though the data for some of the very earliest years are not available.

Money plus quasi-money, shown in row 34 and row 35 respectively, approximates to M3 in United Kingdom terms. Gross domestic product is shown in line 99b.
