§ Mr. Ernie Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will seek to legislate to provide that rent levels of houses in associations related to the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations should be related to those in the public sector, rather than being set by the rent officer by comparison with registered rents in the private sector.
§ Mr. RifkindNo. My right hon. Friend believes that the rents of housing association houses should continue to be determined on the same basis as are the rents of other privately-let houses.
