HC Deb 11 May 1965 vol 712 c36W
Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what is the cost of interest on a local authority house started this month over the full period of subsidy payment; and what are the comparable figures in respect of a house started a year ago.

Mr. Mellish

As loans may be raised in different ways, sometimes with variable requirements as to payment of interest, it is not possible to generalise about the amount of interest payable during the 60-year period of the subsidy.
