HC Deb 18 October 1971 vol 823 c21W
2. Mr. Alec Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate he has now made of the number of tenants in Wales likely to face rent increases as a consequence of the policies announced in Fair Deal for Housing, Command Paper No. 4728; and what estimate he has made of the extent of the average increase.

Mr. Gibson-Watt

No reliable estimate can be made at present, but the Government's proposals include a national rent rebates and allowances scheme which will help those tenants who need assistance in paying their rents.
