HC Deb 30 March 1998 vol 309 c401W
Mr. Gareth Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the GDP figures for each of the new Welsh unitary authorities. [36877]

Mr. Win Griffiths

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes GDP figures for Wales annually and for the former eight counties every two years. I understand that ONS are currently working to produce estimates of GDP for areas in Wales which are aggregations of Unitary Authorities but have no plans to produce estimates for individual Authority areas.
