HC Deb 26 April 1985 vol 77 cc561-2W
Mr. Pawsey

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what has been the percentage of gross domestic product disbursed by the public sector in each year since 1960; and if he will publish a graph showing this data in the Official Report.

Mr. Peter Rees

General Government expenditure on goods and services, which constitutes the Government contribution to the expenditure measure of the gross domestic product, is published on page 153 of the 1985 Economic Trends annual supplement. The table also includes statistics on Government transfer payments, net lending and total expenditure. The gross domestic product at market prices is shown on page 8 of the same publication.
