§ Mr. BeggsTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the total value of rates collected by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive from housing executive tenants annually in each of the last three years; and what is the actual or estimated total cost per annum of this rate collection.
§ Mr. NeedhamI have been informed by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive that it is not possible to disaggregate the total value of rates collected as rent and rates are collated and collected as one amount. This also applies to the cost of rate collection.
