£13,500. The corresponding revenue cost—loan charges, repair and maintenance, and supervision and management—are estimated at £1,555, and rents at £345. New capital cost element payable under the Housing Rents and Subsidies Act 1975 is £915 a year. How the remaining £295 is divided between the rate fund and pooled rents paid by tenants is a matter for decision by individual local authorities. In ensuing years the amount falling on the rate fund would diminish as rents increased.
