HC Deb 26 April 1982 vol 22 cc179-80W
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his latest estimate of the increase in current price gross domestic product between 1980–81 and 1981–82.

Mr. Brittan

[pursuant to his reply, 21 April 1982, c. 93]: Data from 1981–82 as a whole are not yet available. The forecast published in the Financial Statement and Budget Report on 9 March estimated that the increase in current price GDP at market prices between 1980–81 and 1981–82 would be around 10½ per cent.
