HC Deb 20 May 1969 vol 784 c55W
60 and 61. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government (1) if he will introduce legislation to prevent local housing authorities from suspending the rent rebates scheme in respect of recently completed municipal housing estates;

(2) if he will introduce legislation to prevent local housing authorities from establishing a rent structure between £8 10s. and £12 a week plus rates and internal repairs in newly completed housing schemes needed for slum clearance.

Mr. MacColl

My right hon. Friend will be examining the basis of rent fixing for council housing and rent rebate schemes in the longer term review of housing finance, on which work has begun.
