§ Mr. McNamaraasked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the criteria by which lowly-paid workers in full employment are given social security benefits to help pay the rents of council houses;
(2) how many low-paid council house tenants in full employment in Hull receive social security benefits to help to pay their rents.
§ Mr. EnnalsPersons who are in full-time remunerative work are not eligible for supplementary benefit; there are thus no council house tenants in full-time employment in Hull who are receiving social security help with their rents. Council tenants may, however, be eligible for rent rebates where a council operates a rebate scheme.
