HC Deb 24 January 1978 vol 942 c514W
Miss Maynard

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what were the administrative costs of operating rent and rate rebate schemes in the last full financial year.

Mr. Armstrong

The administrative costs of the rent rebate scheme in England and Wales for 1976–77 have been estimated as about £8 million. No comparable figure in respect of the rate rebate scheme is readily available.
