HC Deb 06 July 2000 vol 353 c261W
Mr. Pound

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will provide a breakdown by registered social landlord of the average rent paid by(a) existing tenants and (b) new tenants where large-scale voluntary transfers have taken place in each of the three years following transfer. [129066]

Mr. Raynsford

Information on average rents is collected by the Housing Corporation as part of their Regulatory Statistical Returns but information on average rents paid by transfer tenants and by new tenants is not collected separately. The Government have set out their proposals for rent harmonisation in the Housing Green Paper, "Quality and Choice: a decent home for all".
