HC Deb 25 May 1982 vol 24 c299W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what has been the rate of increase in public sector housing rents since May 1979.

Mr. Stanley

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 29 January to the hon. Member for Newcastle upon Tyne, West (Mr. Brown).—[Vol. 16, c. 460–1]. It is not yet possible to give a reliable estimate to a date later than October 1981.
