asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT figures showing the number of tenants in local authority, Scottish Special Housing Association and new towns corporation houses who have had their rents increased since June 1970; and what is the total value of such rent increases.

Available information, which is not held centrally in the form requested, is published annually in "Rents of houses owned by public authorities in Scotland", the last publication being Cmnd. 5260, April 1973.
