§ Mr. ConcannonIt is not possible to distinguish between persons on rent and rates strike and ordinary debtors. However, at 31st March 1976 there were estimated to be over 30,000 tenants of the Northern Ireland Housing Executive in arrears with payment of rent and rates, and 40,000–45,000 owner-occupiers and tenants of privately owned houses owing rates.
