HC Deb 01 July 1975 vol 894 c384W
Mr. Kenneth Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services why the fixed rent addition for supplementary pension and supplementary benefit for non-householders has been uprated by a smaller percentage than other equivalent benefits.

Mr. O'Malley

During the relevant period, housing costs increased by less than earnings or the general level of prices, the criteria for uprating pensions and benefits.
