§ Mr. Edelmanasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what is his estimate of the average elements in a weekly rent of £4 1s. 8d. for a municipal tenancy represented in terms of land acquisition charges, labour costs, materials costs, administrative expenses and interest on loans.
§ Mr. Denis HowellThe information on which to form a reliable estimate of132W this kind is not available. In Coventry, the standard rents of local authority dwellings are determined by reference to the gross value of the dwelling. This means that the rent of any dwelling does not bear a direct relationship to the costs incurred in constructing or maintaining that particular dwelling.
