HC Deb 14 December 1944 vol 406 c1353W
Mr. Craven-Ellis

asked the Minister of Health whether the proposed rent of 10s. weekly for Portal temporary houses is inclusive or exclusive of rates.

Mr. Willink

It will be for the local authority to fix the rents to be charged for the temporary houses in the same way as for permanent houses. I have suggested to authorities that it would be appropriate to charge approximately the same rent for temporary as for permanent houses.
