HC Deb 09 July 1984 vol 63 cc424-5W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what information he has about the relative annual growth rates of the nations within the European Economic Community and the European Free Trade Association organisation within the period from 1973 to the present time.

Mr. Peter Rees

[pursuant to his reply, 22 Julie 1984, c. 291]: Annual rates of growth in the gross domestic products of the nations within the European Community and the European Free Trade Association in the period 1973 to 1982 are given in the individual country tables in "OECD National Accounts" volume 1, main aggregates 1953–1982. Provisional estimates of growth between 1982 and 1983 for each country are given in "OECD Main Economic Indicators" (page 182 of the May 1984 issue). Copies of these publications are available in the Library.
