asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are the latest available figures to compare with the figure for the gross national product in 1966 of £32,603 million with consumer expenditure of £24,144 million in that year and with the gross fixed capital formation in the private sector of £3,560 million and of £3,112 million in the public sector for the same year.

Comparable figures for the calendar year 1967 are given in Tables 1, 2 and 7 of the Monthly Digest of Statistics. Figures for the first quarter of 1968 are now in course of preparation and will be published later this month.
