HC Deb 13 February 1978 vol 944 c89W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the total cost to date of Housing Executive rehabilitation schemes for rural and urban areas, respectively, since the schemes began.

Mr. Carter

It is estimated that up to 31st December 1977 expenditure on rehabilitation schemes for Northern Ireland Housing Executive dwellings in rural and urban areas was £21 million. The apportionment of this expenditure between rural and urban areas could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the estimated cost of the Housing Executive rehabilitation scheme which is the subject of investigation.

Mr. Carter

If the hon. Member is referring to the scheme for the rehabilitation of vandalised flats and maisonettes at Moyard, West Belfast, the Housing Executive estimates that the outturn cost of this scheme will be about £2.2 million.
