HC Deb 15 May 1980 vol 984 c613W
Mr. Peter Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will give full details of grounds maintenance costs incurred by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, including the administrative costs, wages and plant and machinery costs for the past three years.

Mr. Goodhart

I understand that information for 1979–80 is not yet available. The Northern Ireland Housing Executive accounts for the previous three years show that expenditure on grounds maintenance was as follows:

£ million
1976–77 1.8
1977–78 1.9
1978–79 2.8
