I thank the Ministers for the information they have given members. An issue arises in my constituency and in some of the neighbouring constituencies whereby under the differential rent scheme many people's rents have increased above what it would cost them to rent a private house in our area. It is difficult for people to accept that they are paying more to the council than what they would pay in the private market. What does the Minister intend to do about that? Also, in addition to having to pay higher rents people are being made feel that these are not their houses-----
