HC Deb 07 December 1990 vol 182 c219W
Mr. Moate

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) if he will list the 10 local authorities with the highest arrears as a percentage of the rent roll at the end of 1989–90;

(2) what is the actual or estimated total figure for arrears of rent outstanding to all local authorities for the year 1989–90.

Mr. Yeo

Figures for the position at the end of 1989–90 are not yet available.

An ordered table, showing cumulative rent arrears at March 1989 as a percentage of the rent roll for each English local authority, was placed in the Library on 3 April. Estimated total arrears for all English local authorities at the end of 1988–89 were £319 million.
