§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment why information is not available about the actual rate payments on a three-bedroomed council house generally ; and whether he will publish what information is available for stated areas, including those in the Greater London area, for the latest stated date in each of the years 1969, 1970 and 1971.
§ Mr. Graham PageBecause my Department does not collect this information and to do so would involve an expenditure of effort wholly disproportionate to its value. The hon. Member may be able to obtain some information from the individual rating authorities.
