^{note (1) page 15} This was in spite of the optimistic forecasts from the industry at the beginning of the year and a 7 per cent rise in total United States registrations of imported cars. Substantially higher figures than this have been published but appear to include in 1965 Volkswagen station wagons previously classed as commercial vehicles.

^{note (1) page 18} For EFTA this may be because the effect of the seasonal factors is changing; for France and Italy it is because there had been a strong fall in the first half of the year.

^{note (1) page 28} The movement in consumer prices during 1965—at least up to the third quarter—was abnormally high, in relation to the retail prices movement. We have assumed that this is an oddity of the 1965 figures, and not a change in the basic relationship.

^{note (4) page 28} Customs and Excise have taken steps to prevent abnormal withdrawals from bond of alcoholic liquor and tobacco in February and March. But this will not prevent some stock building by consumers.

^{note (5) page 28} In the first quarter of 1965, expenditure was lowered by deduction of a special receipt for work done for the European Launcher Development Organisation; and expenditure in the second quarter was raised by unusually high terminal payments for aircraft.

^{note (2) page 29} The revisions derive from the 1965 National Insurance card count. The employment figures for the months since then are uncertain; but the end-1965 figure can be regarded as a minimum figure—it may be revised upwards, but it is unlikely to be revised downwards. Annual revisions to the employment figures have almost always been up, not down. In the past ten years, only one revision—that in 1958—was down, by a mere 12 thousand.

^{note (1) page 30} The labour force is defined in table 18 as the increase in the numbers available for employment which would occur, if in each age and sex group the same proportion of people offered themselves for work as in 1961.
