HC Deb 15 April 1981 vol 3 c194W
Mr. Squire

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment, in mid-1980, how many rent rebate and allowance recipients had rents in excess of £10; and what was their average rent.

Mr. Stanley

Information for mid-1980 is not available. Using a projection of the family expenditure survey figures for 1979–80, the number of such rents in 1980–81 may be estimated at around 250,000 to 300,000, and the average amount at about £13.
