HC Deb 09 February 1982 vol 17 c324W
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his latest estimate of the likely percentage increase in income-based gross domestic product in 1981–82 as compared with 1980–81.

Mr. Ridley

Forecasts of the income measure of GDP are not published. The forecast published by the Treasury on 2 December projected an increase in current price GDP—compromise measure—in 1981–82 compared with 1980–81 of 10 per cent.
