Country and regional estimates of the cost of mortgage interest relief for 1989–90, 1995–96 and 1996–97 are published in Table 5.3 of the 1996 and 1997 editions of "Inland Revenue Statistics", copies of which are in the Library. Estimates prior to 1982–83 are not available. Estimates for 1982–83 onwards can be found in the 1993 edition of "Inland Revenue Statistics". The estimates for all these years are based on analyses of family expenditure surveys up to 1995–96. The estimates for 1996–97 are projections based on applying the same country and regional distribution as in 1995–96 to the total figure for 1996–97.

Estimates at the United Kingdom level for all years from 1962–63 to 1996–97 are published in Table 5.1 of "Inland Revenue Statistics 1997".
