Chancellor of the Exchequer, Denis Healey speaks on progress in the British economy during 1978. He cites an increase in exports, a fall in unemployment and greater private investment in business. He says Britain has had a higher economic growth rate than both France and Germany and puts this down to an increase in consumer spending.
