HC Deb 29 July 1988 vol 138 c732W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will publish in theOfficial Reporta. table showing his estimate of the implied difference between growth of potential output per person-hour and the growth of actual output per person-hour between the two most recent cyclical United Kingdom peaks; and if he will include (a) a figure for the United Kingdom and (b) the rate of growth in manufacturing assumed by the International Monetary Fund and the Treasury, respectively.

Mr. Major

Information on potential output per person-hour is not available in the form requested by the hon. Member. The Financial Statement and Budget Report contains a forecast for manufacturing output growth.
