The Government has recently announced a modest incrense in public housing rents. This has been necessary because the housing authority have a substantial deficit on their recurrent account, and the size of the deficit is such that, if it is not reduced, it might well affect the housing programme. There had been no increase in public housing rents for 10 years.
