HC Deb 18 April 1973 vol 855 cc111-2W
41. Mr. Leonard

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many of the 12 members appointed to the Advisory Committee on Rent Rebates and Rent Allowances are council tenants; how many nominations he received from tenants' organisations; and how many of these nominees were appointed to the committee.

Mr. Channon

Three of the 12 members of the committee are council tenants. One London tenants' association suggested seven people for the committee. But I did not want the committee to be too large and to have appointed any of the people suggested would have distorted the balance of experience and geographical representation.
