HC Deb 22 February 1977 vol 926 c533W
Mr. Churchill

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total cost of council house subsidies for the whole of the United Kingdom payable from both central and local Government funds; and how much this represents in terms of subsidy per house.

Mr. Armstrong

The total amount of subsidies, excluding rent rebate subsidies from both central and local Government in Great Britain in 1976–77 is estimated to be £1,170 million or £202 per dwelling.

Information about housing subsidies in Northern Ireland should be obtained from my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.
