HC Deb 06 December 1966 vol 737 cc255-6W
33. Mr. Leadbitter

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many applications have been made to the rent officer in The Hartlepools for a review of rent since he took office; how many rents have been reduced; and in how many of these cases the tenancies have been terminated following the reassessment.

Mr. MacColl

In that County Borough of West Hartlepool up to 26th November the rent officer had received 17 applications for registration of rent and had determined 14 of these, reducing the original rent in 12 cases and increasing it in 2. On the second part of the Question, I understand that two of the tenants concerned have moved since the rent was registered. I have no separate information about the borough of Hartlepool which is part of the County of Durham registration area.
