Local Authority Houses (Rent Increases)

HC Deb 27 November 1967 vol 755 c20W

Mr. MacArthur

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland which local authorities have increased rents since 1st January, 1967, and by what amounts.

Mr. Ross

Local authorities are not obliged to notify me of rent increases, but I estimate that this year about one quarter of the local authorities in Scotland have increased, or have decided to increase, their rents. I am unable to give details of the amounts of these increases.
