§ Mr. Peter Robinsonasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the estimated difference in cost to the Northern Ireland Housing Executive between refurbishing metal window frames and replacing them.
§ Mr. Chris PattenThis is a matter for the chairman of the Northern Ireland Housing Executive who has advised me that the average cost of servicing galvanised metal windows in a typical 7-window house is £150. The cost of replacement varies with the size and type of window frame and ranges from approximately £600 to £1,700 per dwelling.
