asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the local authorities whose average rent levels are below the average rents for their class of authority.

"Housing Rents Statistics" at April 1981, published by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA), lists the average unrebated weekly rent for council houses in individual authorities (pages 14 to 43). These can be compared against the average for each class of authority (page 4). The CIPFA publication is available in the Library.
