note (1) page 5 The expectation of a slight fall in total investment expressed in our first number has been revised in the light of the new forecasts by private industry now available, and of new figures for local authority housing.

note (1) page 8 Figures are given in Appendix table 9. Revised official estimates and new data of stock changes in the first three quarters of 1958, appearing since our previous number, somewhat modify the account of stock movements given there. The rough estimates then used suggested that stock- building was still falling in the third quarter of 1958, which does not now appear to have been the case.
