HC Deb 20 January 1944 vol 396 c379W
Mr. R. Duckworth

asked the Minister of Health what is the average rent of council houses in the most populous 20 towns in the country.

Mr. Willink

The information for which my hon. Friend asks is contained in the White Paper on the Rents of Houses and Flats owned by local authorities published in 1937, of which I am sending him a copy. I have no later information about the rents of local authorities' houses, but there is no reason to suppose that there has been any material change in the level since 1937.
