HC Deb 14 February 1994 vol 237 cc632-4W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what was the amount of housing revenue account subsidy paid per council house to each district council in Wales for the years 1992–93 and 1993–94, showing the percentage increase or decrease in each case.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

A wide range of factors affect subsidy calculations. Subsidy is not paid on a per dwelling basis alone.

Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what was the level of notional rent set by his office for the purposes of calculating housing subsidy for each district council in Wales, and for Wales as a whole, for each financial year since 1991–92 and for 1994–95.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

Authorities calculate guideline rents according to a formula within the housing revenue account subsidy determination for the relevant year. The guideline rents calculated by each authority for the years 1991–92 to 1993–94 are given in the following table. The figures shown for Wales have been derived from these figures.

The Department's estimate of guideline rents for 1994–95 were given to the hon. Member in my reply on Friday 4 February 1994.
