§ Mr. D. E. Thomasasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek to alter the rules for granting 406W rent rebates so that no loss is incurred by those who, for medical reasons, receive a cash allowance instead of concessionary coal.
§ Sir George YoungCash income, from whatever source, is generally taken into account for calculating entitlement to rent rebates, but local authorities have a discretionary power to pay an enhanced rebate where they consider an individual's personal and domestic circumstances warrant this.
