Mr. Churchill

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total value for the whole of the United Kingdom of tax allowances to owner-occupiers; and what is the average allowance per house.

Mr. Denzil Davies

I have been asked to reply.The estimated cost of tax relief on mortgage interest for 1976–77 is around £1,100 million. This is about £183 per mortgagor or £101 per owner-occupied dwelling.
