§ Mr. R. MORRISONasked the Minister of Health whether he has received an application from the London County Council for permission to reduce the rents of their houses on the White Hart Lane Estate, Tottenham and, if not, having regard to the fact that the rents upon this estate are from 4s. 6d. to 5s. per week more than similar houses built in the same district at the same time, whether he will make representations `o the London County Council to reduce the rents to the same amount charged by other public authorities for houses of similar types?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYNo such application has been received from the London County Council. As my hon. Friend knows, the entire responsibility for the administration of the housing[...]schemes rests with the Council, whose duty it is to select the tenants and to fix the rents in accordance with the rules laid down 1789W in the housing regulations. I do not think I could properly interfere in the manner suggested.
