§ Mrs. Lena Jegerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what advice he has given to local authorities regarding the fixing of rents for newly-erected dwellings, in view of the restrictions on rent increases for existing dwellings.

§ Mr. GreenwoodI have given no advice to local housing authorities on the levels of rents which they fix for their dwellings, because this is a matter which falls within the scope of their own statutory responsibilities. The rent limitation powers in the Prices and Incomes Act 1968 are concerned in general only with the amount of increases in rent for existing dwellings.
