Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list(a) the planned average rent, (b) the planned actual average rent rise and (c) the planned percentage rent rise of each of the London boroughs.

Mr. Robert B. Jones

Local authorities set their own rents and are currently in the process of doing so for 1995–96. For the purposes of calculating housing revenue account subsidy, each authority is given an average weekly guideline rent. These are as follows for all London boroughs for 1995–96:
