§ Mr. Hardyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the number of houses built before World War 1 in each region of England and Wales for which fair rents have been determined; and what are the average fair rents for such houses which have been arrived at in each region.
§ Mr. AmeryFair rents registered in the period 1967–1970 for dwellings built before 1919 totalled some 40,000 in Greater London and 80,000 in the rest of England and Wales. Regional figures are not available.
A sample analysis of rents registered in 1970 for terraced houses built before 1919 shows that the average fair rent was £275 per annum in Greater London, £147 in the rest of England and Wales. For flats in converted houses built before 1919 the figures were £287 and £217.
