HC Deb 27 January 1971 vol 810 c119W
59. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek powers to prevent local authorities from increasing the rent of any council house which lacks a bathroom or other standard grant requirement.

Mr. Amery

Under the Government's proposals for the reform of housing finance local authorities in England and Wales will eventually charge fair rents. These will, of course, take account of the amenities of dwellings.
