196W
§ Mr. FreesonThe following list gives the approximate cost of upkeep of ministerial residences for 12 months to the end of June 1973, the latest date to which all-inclusive figures are available.
Residence Approximate Cost 10 Downing Street 12,000 11 Downing Street 3,750 1 Carlton Gardens 14,200 Admiralty House (two flats and one pied-a-terre) 9,650 These figures allow for maintenance; furniture purchase, repairs and removals; purchase of household articles; fuel; water and the contribution in lieu of general rates. They also contain expenditure on major repairs which fell due in that period. Since it is not possible to assess a realistic rental for this type of property the financial benefits accruing to individual occupants cannot be quantified.
