HC Deb 02 February 1973 vol 849 cc483-4W
Mr. MacArthur

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what rent rebates or allowances are payable in Clydebank to a married couple with two children and a gross household income of £25 and £30, respectively, at standard rents of £1.75, £2.25 and £2.75 per week, respectively.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I understand that a council tenant in Clydebank whose household income exceeds £21 a week is not entitled to a rebate under the rebate scheme operated at the moment by Clydebank town council. There is no provision for allowances to private tenants under that scheme.
