HC Deb 11 February 1981 vol 998 c336W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the average rebated rent for council tenants in receipt of rebates; and what is the average rent for council tenants not in receipt of rebates.

Mr. Stanley

The latest available estimates relate to average rents in England and Wales over the calendar year 1979. They are as follows:

Average rebated rent (per dwelling per week) of house tenants in receipt of rent rebate £2.60
Average rent (per dwelling per week) of council house tenants not in receipt of rent rebate £6.70

Tenants in receipt of supplementary benefits are excluded from these estimates. The estimated average rents are exclusive of rates.
