HC Deb 10 March 1971 vol 813 c108W
104. Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what action he proposes to take to ensure that the family income supplement is disregarded by local authorities in calculating rent rebates.

Mr. Amery

The Secretary of State for Social Services will be explaining the details of the family income supplement scheme to local authorities. They can then decide whether to use their present discretion to disregard the supplement in assessing rent rebates.
