§ Mr. Rossiasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what were the respective costs of rent tribunals and the rent assessment services for a full year immediately preceding their integration, giving the figures separately for remuneration of members, salaries of staff, rents and outgoings for office accommodation, and other items; and what was the date of integration.
§ Mr. Denis HowellRent tribunals in the provinces were integrated with provincial rent assessment panels on 1st October, 1966, and London rent tribunals were integrated with the London Rent Assessment Panel on 1st April, 1969.
The latest full year for which separate costs of rent tribunals and rent assessment panels are available is the year from 1st April, 1966, to 31st March, 1967. I regret that figures for the rents and running costs of accommodation can be obtained only by lengthy inquiry. The approximate figures for the other items are as follows:
Rent Tribunals Rent Assessment Panels £ £ Remuneration of members 85,000 97,000 Salaries of staff 90,000 226,000 Other items 22,000 45,000
