HC Deb 08 July 1971 vol 820 c450W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking to ensure that all householders eligible to claim a rate rebate are informed of their rights.

Mr. Graham Page

Administration of the rate rebate scheme, including any necessary local publicity, is the responsibility of rating authorities, and the rate demand note must refer to the scheme. My Department encourages their efforts and supports them by the bulk printing and distribution of leaflets and posters and from time to time in national Press publicity.
