The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. I am making inquiries, but I may say generally that the fixing of rents of council houses is by statute a matter for the discretion of the local authority. With regard to the latter part of the question, the hon. Member will perhaps allow me to defer replying until the inquiries are complete.
