HC Deb 01 February 1989 vol 146 c226W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what percentage of the gross national product has gone to the Exchequer since 1979; where this came from; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Major

Information on taxes and social security contributions as a percentage of gross national product is published each year in "The United Kingdom National Accounts" (table 15.7 in the 1988 edition). The publication is available in the Library of the House.
