HC Deb 16 October 1968 vol 770 cc141-2W
Mr. Wright

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the average rent paid by Glasgow municipal tenants for two-apartment, three-apartment and four-apartment houses; what is the average rate paid for these; how many of the Glasgow council house occupiers obtain rent rebates; whether he is satisfied that the information given of the facilities for rent rebates is adequate; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ross

The following table shows average rents at the present time and as they will be from 28th November:

Current Rents After Increase
s. d. s. d.
1–2 apartments 13 8 17 1
3 apartments 18 9 23 4
4 apartments 23 6 29 4
5 or more apartments 29 8 37 1
All houses 19 11 24 10

It is for the Corporation to decide how to bring its rent rebate scheme to the tenants' notice and at present some 19,000 tenants receive rebates.

I have no information about rate payments by Corporation tenants.
