HC Deb 20 February 1968 vol 759 c49W
48. Mr. Allason

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government why tenants of unsubsidised houses of the New Towns Commission at Hemel Hempstead are required to pay an increase in rent to subsidise council house tenants.

Mr. MacColl

Subsidy is paid on the houses to which the hon. Member refers and there is no reason why they, like all other houses in the Commission's rent pool, should not share the cost of the Commission's contribution to the borough council's housing expenditure.
