§ 2. Mr. Alec Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate he has now made of the number of tenants in Wales likely to face rent increases as a consequence of the policies announced in Fair Deal for Housing, Command Paper No. 4728; and what estimate he has made of the extent of the average increase.
§ Mr. Gibson-WattNo reliable estimate can be made at present, but the Government's proposals include a national rent rebates and allowances scheme which will help those tenants who need assistance in paying their rents.
