HC Deb 14 March 1960 vol 619 c72W
Colonel Glyn

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what average subsidy per week per dwelling, is represented by the £17,693,000 general rate fund contributions by the Treasury to housing revenue accounts referred to in a footnote to Local Government Financial Statistics, England and Wales. 1957–58, issued by his Department.

Mr. H. Brooke

This sum is not contributed by the Treasury, but is the aggregate of the amounts contributed out of rates to housing revenue accounts. The sum amounts on the average to about 2s. 8d. per week on each of the dwellings owned by those housing authorities—about 72 per cent. of the total number—which made such contributions in 1957–58.
