HC Deb 27 February 1967 vol 742 cc32-3W
Mr. Hamling

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT figures showing how many applications to fix rents have been made by tenants to rent officers in each of the London boroughs in the last twelve months, the number of rents reduced, the number of rents unchanged, the number of rents increased, and the number of rents increased by a sum smaller than that asked for by the landlord.

Mr. MacColl

19,056 applications for registration of rent had been made to rent officers in London up to 18th February, 1967, of which 13,701 had been determined. The original rent was reduced in 6,677 cases, unchanged in 2,180 and increased in 4,844. I regret that the other details asked for are not available.

The figures for each borough are as follows:
