Mr. McMaster

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the oustanding capital debt attributable to the housing accounts of Renfrew district council; how much the repayments on this debt amount to in the current financial year; what percentage of the average annual dwelling-based rental charge made on council-owned houses is spent on these repayments; and if he will make a statement.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

The capital debt associated with the houses, buildings and land to which Renfrew district council's housing revenue account applies is estimated at 128.3 million on 1 April 1993. The council has budgeted for expenditure of some £1.8 million on the redemption of debt in 1993–94, which represents 4.6 per cent. of estimated total housing revenue account expenditure. Individual sources of revenue income to the council are not allocated to particular items of housing expenditure.
