HC Deb 09 November 1977 vol 938 cc136-7W
Mr. Wyn Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the average weekly unrebated council house rent in Wales payable in April 1976 and April 1977, respectively; and what was the average weekly male manual earnings at those times.

Mr. Alec Jones:

Estimates, based on an incomplete response by local authorities, indicate that the average weekly net unrebated council house rent payable in Wales was £4.46 in April 1976 and £5.14 in April 1977. The Department of Employment New Earnings Survey shows that average weekly male manual earnings at those times were £65.40 and £72.20 respectively.
