§ Rear-Admiral Morgan Gilesasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many rent assessment panels have been formed; what is the total number of staff employed; and what is the total annual cost to public funds.
§ Mr. MacCollFifteen panels have been formed; the total staffing has now been reduced to 161; the total cost of the rent assessment committee service cannot be separated from that of the furnished rent tribunals which, outside London, are for the most part integrated with the panels; taken together, the cost over the last year was approximately £780,000.
