HC Deb 02 April 1969 vol 781 c119W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many tenants of regulated tenancies who have applied for reductions in rent under the rent regulations system have secured these.

Mr. MacColl

From the start of rent regulation in 1966 up to the end of January, 1969, 24,500 applications by tenants for the registration of a fair rent have been analysed. 85.6 per cent. of these resulted in a reduction of the previous rent.
