§ Mr. RaynsfordTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish a table showing his estimate of the percentage of the net income of housing association tenants which would on average be taken by their rent, broken down on a regional basis in each of the years from 1979 to 1991.
§ Mr. BaldryThe Department does not compile this information.
Information is, however, available from the National Federation of Housing Associations. The NFHA collects information relating to new housing association tenancies, and has published regional data on weekly rent as a percentage of weekly income in its CORE quarterly bulletin since the end of 1989.
The relevant copies of the bulletin are in the House of Commons Library.
