HC Deb 02 December 1981 vol 14 c166W
34. Mr. Marks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his estimate of the average council house rent in October 1979, October 1980 and October 1981.

Mr. Stanley

It is estimated that the average unrebated rent charged to council house tenants in England and Wales was £6.56 per dwelling per week in October 1979 and £8.24 per dwelling per week in October 1980. The figure for October 1981 cannot yet be reliably estimated.
