§ 51. Mr. Willeyasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what are the latest number and values of rebates granted to Sunderland ratepayers under the Rating Act, 1966; to what extent eligible ratepayers are claiming the rebate; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Denis HowellThe latest figures for rebates are as follows:
Period Number of recipients Amount afforded £ October, 1968 to March, 1969 3,199 22,660 The number of householders eligible for rate rebate depends upon several 309W factors including their incomes, the size of their rate bills and the extent to which help with rates is being obtained by way of supplementary benefit. Information available about these factors does not enable the number eligible for rebates to be estimated.
