§ Mr. Knoxasked the Secretary of State for Employment if, using information available from international sources, he will list in the Official Report the changes in average real wages in each year since 1979 for United Kingdom and other Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries; and what were the changes in production per head for the same years for the same countries.
§ Mr. GummerThe available information about changes in average real wages shown by the changes in average gross wages of manual employees in nonagricultural activities relative to changes in retail prices was given in my reply to my hon. Friend on 23 July.
Annual percentage changes in real gross domestic product per person employed are given in table 3.7 of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's publication, "Historical Statistics 1960 to 1982", a copy of which is in the Library.
