39. Mr. John Hall

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has to extend the rent allowance scheme to tenants of furnished accom- modation; and if he will make a statement.

As I explained to the House on 24th April, the Government wish to extend the rent allowance scheme to furnished tenancies. I am in consultation with the local authority associations with the object of devising a workable scheme.
