Mr. Dubs

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the economic indications by which he judges the success of his economic policies.

Mr. Peter Rees

[pursuant to his reply, 12 February 1985, c. 148]: Inflation is running at less than half the rate inherited in 1979. The economy is experiencing the longest period of economic recovery since 1945. Estimated employment has been rising since the spring of 1983.
