HC Deb 27 April 1964 vol 694 c21W
Mr. Randall

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what were the average loan charge, the average interest charge and the average rent, all stated in weekly terms, for a council house in 1951 and 1963, respectively, in Gateshead.

Mr. Corfield

Following is the information. The figures for interest charges and total debt charges have been obtained by dividing the total interest and loan charges met from the Housing Revenue Account (which include payments on shops, garages, etc.), by the number of houses owned by the Council at the end of the financial year.
