HC Deb 18 January 1974 vol 867 cc189-90W
Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if employed persons will be able to claim rent rebates and rent allowances on the basis of reduced income as a result of the three-day working week; and, if so, what will be the procedure for assessing income.

Mr. Channon

Any tenant is entitled to apply to the local housing authority for the granting or reassessment of a rent rebate or allowance as a result of a change in his circumstances. Rent rebates and allowances are calculated on an assessment of the tenant's likely income over the period of the rebate or allowance.
