HC Deb 12 November 1971 vol 825 cc273-4W
Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the average price paid by a local authority for a council house priced at £2,500 in 1960 over a 25-year period.

Mr. Channon:

On the assumption that the house was financed by a 25-year loan at 6 per cent., approximately the aver- age Public Works Loan Board rate in 1960, repayable in 50 equal instalments of principal and interest, the total amount payable would have been £4,858.
