HC Deb 11 July 1973 vol 859 c350W
57. Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he now has about the annual expenditure incurred by the average family on motoring, including fuel, oil, purchase, tax, maintenance and insurance; and how this compares with the expenditure by the average family on housing, including purchase, mortgage, rent and rates.

Mr. Peyton

During 1972 in the United Kingdom, households using cars or motor cycles spent on average about £380 on motoring. The average for all households spent on housing was about £300 including mortgage payments and maintenance.
