§ Mr. Hardyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will state the number of council tenants currently paying rents which will provide £26 or more extra rent during the current financial year and the number of tenants paying rents which will provide at least £26 less rent during this period.
§ Mr. AmeryAn estimated 2¼ million council tenants in England and Wales are paying rent increases yielding £26 in 1972–73. I am not in a position to estimate the number of tenants who are paying a decreased rent.
