§ Mr. LangThe information is set out in the table:
published in December. There are no estimates of gross domestic fixed capital formation (GDFCF) for Scotland for all industries, because there are no regional data on GDFCF in most service industries. The figures given cover those industries for which estimates are available.
Scottish gross domestic fixed capital formation as a percentage of United Kingdom (excluding Continental Shelf) fixed capital formation 19791 1987 All industries for which an estimate is available2: 11.0 8.4 Manufacturing: 8.6 7.4 Source: Central Statistical Office.
1 Figures for 1979 are not entirely consistent with those for later years. However the differences are thought to be small.
2 The industries covered are agriculture forestry and fishing, energy and water supply, manufacturing, transport and communication (excluding shipping and air transport) and dwellings.
