HC Deb 20 February 1975 vol 886 c508W
Mr. Michael Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will consider issuing an instruction to DHSS offices that rent contributions should be subject to periodic checks of the rent book.

Mr. Alec Jones

Officers are already instructed to check rent payments at each review visit and also to take prompt action at any time it comes to light that a claimant is falling into arrears.
