HC Deb 17 May 1966 vol 728 c216W
78. Dr. Gray

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government why he decided that the administrative costs of the Rates Rebate Scheme should be chargeable to local authorities rather than the Exchequer.

Mr. MacColl

My right hon. Friend thought it better to concentrate the avail able money on the rebates themselves, so giving the maximum incentive to economy in administration.
