§ 77. Mr. Weitzmanasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will review his decision to approve a grant of £65 19s. 9d. per annum to the Hackney Borough Council in respect of the purchase of 74 Alkham Road, Hackney, since the exclusive rent of £130 per annum exceeds the true annual rental available to a private landlord by £40 per annum, and his estimate of the cost of repairs, maintenance and management is not related to the actual expenditure incurred by the council for this type of property, and in view of the rate of contribution to be borne locally.
§ Mr. SandysI will write to the hon. and learned Member about this complicated case, on which I am still in communication with the borough council.
