HC Deb 10 June 1981 vol 6 c158W
46. Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, further to his reply to the hon. Member for Rother Valley (Mr. Hardy) on 1 April, Official Report, c. 275, he is now in a position to estimate what the average council house rent will be during the current financial year.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

I cannot make a soundly based estimate until I receive information on rent increases by local authorities during this financial year.
