11. Since imports of military equipment are not included in the official import statistics (H. V. Richter, ‘Problems of Assessing Unrecorded Trade’, Bulletin, March 1970, pp. 59–60) they may not have been brought into the import estimates in the expenditure accounts.
12. In Bulletin, July 1970, p. 25, an implausible ratio for taxation in 1967, due to inadvertent inclusion of foreign aid receipts, was erroneously attributed to an underestimate of GDP at current prices in that year.
