asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the percentage of the average income in England paid in rent at the present time; and what it is for, respectively, council house tenants, tenants in unfurnished private accommodation, and tenants in furnished private accommodation.

Information on incomes and rents is contained in the Family Expenditure Survey Reports, copies of which are available in the Library. However, this information does not show average incomes for the groups specified nor the rents actually paid by those groups, but only the rents charged before any rebate.
