HC Deb 31 March 1925 vol 182 cc1081-6
29. Mr. WESTWOOD

asked the Secretary for Scotland what authorities in Scotland are offering the minimum lump sum subsidy to private builders building houses under the 1923 Housing Act; what authorities pay more than the minimum; and what is the sum they are paying?

Captain ELLIOT

As the answer involves a long tabular statement, I propose, with the hon. Member's permission, to circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the answer:

It is not possible to frame the reply precisely in terms of the question, because the present value of the Government contribution of £6 per annum for 20 years varies according to the rate of interest at which a local authority is able to borrow the capital required to pay the subsidy in a lump sum. A list follows showing the local authorities in Scotland that have adopted schemes for the assistance of private enterprise under the Housing, Etc., Act, 1923, and the lump sum subsidy offered in each case. It may be assumed that those local authorities who are offering less than £80 per house are not making any addition to the estimated present value of the Government contribution.
