§ 39. Mr. Longdenasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs how many local housing authorities about whom he has information were operating rent rebate, or differential rent, schemes at the nearest convenient date; and how many were not.
§ Sir K. JosephOut of 1,091 authorities who made returns to the Institute of Municipal Treasurers and Accountants for the year ended 31st March, 1963, 455 (or 42 per cent.) were operating some form of rent rebate or differential rent scheme. I am glad to see that this shows that the number of authorities operating such schemes is continuing to rise steadily.
