HC Deb 20 December 1982 vol 34 c351W
36. Mr. Delwyn Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many tenants of council houses in Wales receiving supplementary benefit have suffered a loss of money by virtue of the housing benefits scheme.

Mr. Newton

The only significant group of losers, if any, will be those tenants living in authorities who have not adjusted their rent collection practices to avoid losses on the partial introduction of the housing benefit scheme. It is not known how many tenants are involved.
