HC Deb 27 July 1965 vol 717 c71W
75. Mr. Murton

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what is his estimate of the total annual cost to his Department of the country-wide organisation of rent officers and assessment committees to be set up as the result of the Rent Bill.

Mr. Crossman

The Financial Memorandum to the Bill estimates that the total annual cost of this organisation in England and Wales is unlikely to exceed £1,250,000 at first. It is not possible at this stage to be more precise than that.
