47. Mr. Peter Bottomley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the take-up of rent allowance benefit as a percentage of those eligible on the last available date.

Mr. Armstrong

At January 1975 the take-up was estimated to be approximately between 20 and 25 per cent. of those eligible. This estimate excludes recipients of supplementary benefit.
