176. Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Works the cost of capital, heating and maintenance charges incurred by the National Hostels Corporation, over and above the £1,400,000 loss already announced.

The capital cost of providing the industrial hostels managed by the corporation during the period over which the deficit was incurred was approximately £8,650,000. As to the cost of heating and maintenance I regret that the information is not readily available.
