HC Deb 27 July 1966 vol 732 cc261-2W
63. Mr. Galbraith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what rent would be required on average from council tenants in Glasgow to balance the housing account, assuming that state subsidies were the same as at present and that there were no subsidy from the rates.

Dr. Dickson Mabon

I cannot give an exact figure, because the corporation's accounts for 1964–65 are the latest avail- able to me in final form, but the average rent now required would certainly be more than 30s. a week.
