HC Deb 20 October 1969 vol 788 cc175-6W
Mr. Roebuck

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what percentage of tenants applying to rent officers for a reduction in rent are successful, according to the latest available figures.

Mr. Freeson

From the start of rent regulation up to the end of June, 1969, in cases where the bases of the registered rent and of the previous rent were comparable, 86.7 per cent. of applications by tenants for the registration of a fair rent resulted in a reduction of the previous rent.

Mr. Roebuck

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what has been the response to his recent Press advertising campaign to inform the public of the services of rent officers.

Mr. Greenwood

Evaluation of the results of this campaign will, I hope, be completed shortly and I will then make a statement.
