HC Deb 29 June 1994 vol 245 c610W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will publish a table showing for each industry the estimated percentage utilisation of capacity in 1990 and the increase or decrease in output since 1990 at the latest available date, together with the estimated utilisation of capacity.

Mr. Sainsbury

Official data on capacity utilisation by industry are not available. The CBI industrial trends survey monitors changes in balances of companies reporting below capacity working, by industry groups. Industrial output figures are published in the monthly digest of statistics. Both publications are available in the Library of the House.
