HC Deb 02 December 1977 vol 940 c441W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his latest estimate of average rents and rates in Norfolk for (a) local authority tenants, (b) tenants of privately-rented accommodation and (c) owner-occupiers.

Mr. Armstrong

The average unrebated rent for local authority tenants in Norfolk at April 1977 was £270 per annum. No comparable information is available by county on rents of private tenants, but the average of unfurnished registered rents in Norfolk set in the period January-September 1977 was £373 per annum excluding housing association and decontrol cases. Average unrebated rates in Norfolk in the financial year 1976–77 were £82 per annum. A breakdown by tenure is not available.
