HC Deb 12 February 1992 vol 203 c523W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give the British gross domestic product per head expressed as a proportion of the European Community average in 1980, 1985 and 1990, including only those countries which were members of the Community in 1980.

Mr. Mellor

Figures published by the OECD in "National Accounts 1969–1990" suggest that United Kingdom gross domestic product per head expressed as a percentage of the average for the EC excluding Greece, Portugal and Spain are as follows:

Percentage
1980 90
1985 93
1990 94

These figures are based on data of GDP at current prices and current purchasing power parities. Figures are provisional and the final set to be issued later in the year will include new information for several countries including the United Kingdom.
