§ Mr. BattleTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the organisations which have made representations to him concerning the effect of reduced housing association grant rates on rent levels for housing association tenants; and if he will give the proportion of these organisations which expressed concern about increased rent levels.
§ Sir George YoungMinisters receive representations throughout the year on rates of housing association grant and rent levels, and on the relationship between the two. There is no analysis available of which bodies have made what type of representation, but the organisations which have expressed views on this subject include the National Federation of Housing Associations and other national bodies, as well as individual housing associations and local bodies.
