Miss Harvie Anderson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the ratio of the average local authority house rent to the average household income for the year 1973.

Mr. Kaufman

It is estimated that local authority tenants in England and Wales in 1973 paid, on average, a rebated rent equal to approximately 7½ per cent. of their household income.
