30. Sir Anthony Meyer

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what were the gross domestic products of the United States of America, Japan and the European Community in the most recent convenient year.

Mr. Lawson

Provisional OECD figures show that in 1980 the gross domestic product of the United States was $2,557 billion, in Japan it was $1,046 billion and in the European Community as a whole it was $2,790 billion. National figures have been converted into dollars at the average exchange rates for 1980.
