Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish his estimates, for Great Britain, for both 1980–81 and 1981–82, of (i) mortgage tax relief per mortgagor and per owner-occupied dwelling, (ii) mortgage tax relief plus option mortgage subsidy per mortgagor and per owner-occupied dwelling, (iii) Exchequer subsidy per local authority dwelling, (iv) Exchequer subsidy plus rate fund contribution, or minus housing revenue account contribution to rate fund, per local authority dwelling, (v) Exchequer subsidy per public sector dwelling, and (vi) Exchequer subsidy plus rate fund contribution, or minus housing revenue account contribution to rate fund, per public sector dwelling.

Mr. Stanley

Current estimates as regards local authority dwellings for England are as follows:

1980–81 1981–82
£ £
Exchequer subsidy per local authority dwelling 286 174
Exchequer subsidy plus RFC or minus HRA contribution to rate fund per local authority dwelling 370 234

It is not possible to provide comparable estimates for public sector dwellings as a whole.

As regards estimates for Scotland and Wales, I refer the hon. Gentleman to my right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for Scotland and for Wales.

On matters of tax relief, I refer the hon. Gentleman to my right hon. and learned Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
