HC Deb 04 July 1973 vol 859 c109W
33. Mr. David Clark

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the average mortgage for the latest convenient date; and what was the minimum weekly wage necessary to obtain such a mortgage.

Mr. Eyre

The average building society mortgage advance in the United Kingdom was £5,997 in the first quarter of 1973. The minimum income necessary to obtain a mortgage of this size depends upon the lending policies of the individual building society concerned.
