§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list in the OFFICIAL REPORT those housing authorities in England which are required to make rent increases from 1st April 1973 and indicate, for each authority, the number of dwellings to which the increase will apply; and if he will list those housing authorities which increased rents on 1st April 1972 but are not required to impose further increases in rent in April 1973.
§ Mr. EyreThe information asked for in the first part of the Question could only be supplied at disproportionate cost. The answer to the second part is that if any authorities who increased rents in April 1972 have arrived at the fair rent level, they will not have to make a further increase in April 1973. Nor will that very small number of authorities who increased rents in April 1972 but whose increase did not produce £26 per dwelling. Such authorities made a small additional increase in October 1972.
