HC Deb 06 November 1991 vol 198 c128W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish a table showing the average rate of economic growth of the six founder members of the EC from 1964 to 1973 and since 1979.

Mr. Maples

Table RI in "National Accounts ESA Aggregates 1970–1989 Theme 2 Series C" published by Eurostat gives annual growth rates for gross domestic product at market prices for 1970 to 1989. Data for earlier years can be calculated from Table 25 in "National Accounts Main Aggregates Volume 1 1960–1989" published by OECD or can be obtained from the Statistical Office of the European Communities.

Copies of these publications are available in the Library of the House.
