§ Mr. Wolrige-Gordonasked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance what 100W is the procedure under which rents may be paid by the National Assistance Board direct to the landlord, or to the town council, in cases of abuse.
§ Mr. N. MacphersonI understand that the Board have powers and are prepared in exceptional cases to make payment direct to a third party where necessary to protect the interests of the tenant. If the hon. Member has a particular case or cases in mind, perhaps he would communicate with me or with the Chairman of the Board.
