§ 25. Mr. Douglas-Mannasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what advice has been given by his Department to local authorities relating to the maximum rent which will be approved for the purpose of a rent allowance for a single person and a married couple, respectively, in furnished accommodation in the Greater London area and the Reading area, respectively.
§ Mr. ChannonNone, Sir. A particular case about which the hon. Member has written to me concerned rent allowances for furnished tenants in receipt of supplementary benefit. As these are granted by the Supplementary Benefits Commission and not by local authorities, I have passed his letter to the chairman of the commission to reply to.
