HC Deb 03 March 1978 vol 945 c441W
Mr. Colin Jackson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy towards the separation by local authorities of council tenants' rate demands from rental payments, in the light of the fact that Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council has taken such steps but is the only local authority to do so.

Mr. Freeson

Such matters of day-to-day management are for the local authorities' own judgment, in the light of their appreciation of the advantages and disadvantages and the views of their tenants.
