§ Mr. Edwin Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many housing authority councils raised rents at £4 or more per week during the current year; and how many were in the region of £10.
§ Mr. StanleyOn the information currently available to me from the subsidy claim forms which housing authorities have returned to my Department, the average unrebated council house rent for 1981–82 was on average £4 or more per dwelling per week higher than the average in 1980–81 in 72 authorities in England. There were no increases in the region of £10 per dwelling per week.
