Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the average income of the head of a household living in private, furnished and rented accommodation; and what percentage is paid in rent.

Mr. Peter Thomas

I regret that this information is not available.

Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what percentage of the population in Wales live in private, furnished and rented accommodation; and what the figures are for Cardiff and Swansea, respectively.

Mr. Peter Thomas

Information from the 1966 Census indicated that the percentage of the population in Wales living in households renting their accommodation furnished from a private person or a company was 1.3. For Cardiff the figure was 2.2 and for Swansea 1.2.
