Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will provide the latest information on the take-up of rent allowances as a proportion of those believed to be entitled thereto.

Mr. Eyre

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to a similar question from the hon. Member for Oldham, West (Mr. Meacher) on 18th October.

Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how the take-up of rent allowances in Putney and in Wandsworth compares with the rest of the country.

Mr. Eyre

For the average take-up of rent allowances in England and Wales I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to the hon. Member for Oldham, West (Mr. Meacher) on 18th October. Information for an individual local authority should be sought from the council concerned.

Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will provide the latest information on the proportion of rent allowance applications which have been refused and the reasons for refusal.

Mr. Eyre

This information is not available.
