Default Incuding illegal drugs/prostitution in national accounts

'A person exercising a regulatory function to which this section applies must,
in the exercise of the function, have regard to the desirability of promoting
economic growth.'

http://www.publications.parliament.u...htm#pb16-l1g83

'Until recently, financial data on revenue generated by illegal drugs and prostitution wasn't factored into Britain’s official gross domestic product (GDP) measure. But an ONS report published in May marked the first time such illicit industries were included in official GDP estimates.

The ONS emphasized in its May report that new estimates of Britain’s GDP “cover the import, production and sale of illegal drugs and the provision of prostitution services.”

Well... Now we know the real reason for the new relaxed attitude to drugs,
Way to make crime pay dave.
