Appendix L: defence requirements

This appendix sets out the stages of computing the direct-plus-indirect


requirements of defence outlays reported in chapter 5. Each table is
divided into two. Columns on the left show outlays as in the budget
('gross of imports'); those on the right show outlays after deduction of
net imports. Note that it is the total of net imports which is subtracted,
not just imports of final products designated for defence use.1
Table L.I shows how defence outlays are allocated among the 27 pro-
cessing sectors, gross and net of imports. Taking into account the net
import of nonmilitary final and intermediate products in 1942-4, a row-
by-row survey of outlays net of imports reveals many negative cells
(column totals remain large and positive, of course); negative entries
just mean that net imports were large enough to satisfy all direct
defence needs and contribute to direct nondefence requirements as
well. Table L.2 shows the associated direct-plus-indirect requirements
for gross outputs. Table L.3 converts the latter into percentages of avail-
able gross output, including output available from de-stocking in 1942,
or less output required for stock recovery in 1943-4.
Table L.4 converts gross outputs into value added for defence use by
sector of origin, and table L.5 applies coefficients of value added per
worker to find out the labour requirements of defence outlays in each
sector and year.
