HC Deb 12 March 1973 vol 852 cc273-4W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the practice of his Department, in administrative matters, regarding the definition of the term "Head of the Household" or an equivalent term; and what benefits or allowances are available when the requirements of that status are met.

Mr. Channon

This term has no significance for benefits for which my Department is responsible. Rent rebates and allowances are granted to the tenant of a dwelling and rate rebates to the rateable occupier.
