HC Deb 06 July 1954 vol 529 c154W
91. Mr. D. Jones

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if an estimate has been made of the amount by which the rent of a council house costing £1,500 will have to be increased, if the proposed reduction in State and local subsidy is made, as outlined by him recently.

95. Mr. Willey

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government the effect of the cut in housing subsidies on the rent of houses built after 1st April. 1955.

Mr. H. Macmillan

I cannot estimate what rents local authorities will fix. That depends on the arrangements they make.
