HC Deb 17 March 1980 vol 981 cc59-60W
Mr. Wm. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what has been the average cost of improving the old cottages in Northern Ireland owned by the Housing Executive in each of the last three years.

Mr. Goodhart

This is a matter for the Northern Ireland Housing Executive but I understand from the Executive that the information is as follows:

1 June-21 May £
1976–77 6,517
1977–78 7,679
1978–79 8,859

These figures include professional fees and, where necessary, servicing the cottage with a water supply and sewage disposal facility.
