HC Deb 07 August 1975 vol 897 cc368-9W
Mr. Ian Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when, and with effect from what date, he intends to implement Section 12 of the Housing Rents and Subsidies Act 1975 making occupants of almshouses eligible for rent rebates from local authorities.

Mr. Freeson

It is my aim to bring the occupants of almshouses within the scope of the rent allowance scheme with effect from 17th November 1975, and the necessary regulations will be made as soon as possible.
