§ Rev. Martin SmythTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his latest estimate of gross domestic product and gross domestic product per head for(a) the north-west region of England, (b) the north-east region of England and (c) Northern Ireland.
§ Mr. NelsonEstimates of GDP are compiled by standard economic region, and by county. The latest available regional estimates, for 1992, were published in the December 1993 issue of "Economic Trends", available in the House of Commons Library. The north-east of508W England, comprising Cleveland, Durham, Northumberland and Tyne and Wear, is not separately designated within the north standard region. However, figures for the north-east can be derived from the latest county estimates, relating to 1991. In 1991, total GDP for the north-east was £18,991 million, and GDP per head was £7,320.
