HC Deb 16 May 1972 vol 837 cc78-9W
70. Mr. Edward Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will introduce fresh legislation to ensure that tenants of publicly or privately owned property will receive rent rebates or allowances by means of deducting such sums as they may be entitled to from their rate payments.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I consider that the provisions of the Housing (Financial Provisions) (Scotland) Bill for the payment of rent rebates and allowances should be adequate to ensure that all tenants who are entitled to extra help receive it in good time.
