HC Deb 21 March 1975 vol 888 c567W
Mr. Bradford

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if dependants of internees are assisted in or exempted from paying electricity accounts or any accounts to statutory bodies or services in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Merlyn Rees:

Dependants of internees are not eligible for any special assistance. Their entitlement to statutory benefits, which may include help in these matters, is assessed in accordance with the criteria which apply to all claimants.
