Housing Finance, Harrogate (Hansard, 23 June 1992)

§ Mr. Robert Banks
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total debt in the housing account of the Harrogate borough council and the servicing costs for the 1991–92 financial year.

§ Mr. Baldry
No information is held centrally on a split of total authority debt which relates to housing, nor of the split of servicing costs. Local housing authorities are however required to maintain a housing revenue account where debt servicing costs are charged for housing. These costs are based upon debt figures calculated by formula.
The estimated average debt used in the formula for charging servicing costs to the housing revenue account of Harrogate borough council for 1991–92 is about £18.1 million. The provisional debt servicing costs for the same year are £2.46 million.
