HC Deb 25 October 1966 vol 734 cc143-4W
Mr. Hale

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what was the total number of applications for rate rebate received in the County Borough of Oldham and the Urban District of Chadderton, respectively; and what proportion this represents of the estimated total of persons entitled to apply.

Mr. MacColl

The number of applications made for the first rebate period to Oldham County Borough was 2,900 and to Chadderton Urban District Council 974. These represent 7.2 per cent. and 8.4 per cent. respectively of the domestic hereditaments in the area; but I can make no estimate of what proportion they represent of those entitled to apply.
