34. Mr. Goodhart

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the latest estimate he has made of the loss of revenue to public corporations in Northern Ireland as a result of the non-payment of bills for gas and electricity and the non-payment of rent.

Mr. Channon

Approximately £1¾ million is at present owing to the principal gas and electricity undertakings, including normal arrears, and just over £1 million for arrears of rent with rates to the public housing authorities including the Northern Ireland Housing Executive.
