§ Mr. Rossiasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many houses and flats are held under controlled tenancies in London and the rest of the country; and what is his estimate of the median rent in each case.
§ Mr. Denis HowellIn Greater London rather more than 300,000 dwellings are held under controlled tenancies, and in the rest of England and Wales rather more than one million.
I estimate that the median rent of controlled dwellings in Greater London is about 30s. a week and in the rest of England and Wales about 16s. a week.
