HC Deb 15 April 1975 vol 890 c91W
Mrs. Chalker

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce legislation to allow local authorities to give financial assistance to assist elderly people to cover the cost of their removal to smaller accommodation, when such becomes more suitable for their needs.

Mr. Kaufman

Local authorities already have discretionary powers to give financial assistance towards the removal expenses of any of their tenants who move to another dwelling.
