HC Deb 23 May 1973 vol 857 cc74-5W
24. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what communications he has received from Walsall County Borough Council concerning the time limit for the making of fair rent assessments for council houses.

Mr. Channon

My Department has been asked by the council for an extension of the statutory period within which it must submit its provisional assessment to the rent scrutiny board. The council has been told that there is no power to extend this period.
