HC Deb 17 December 1979 vol 976 cc81-2W
Miss Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the average rent share contribution deducted per non-dependant from supplementary benefit claiments' rent additions in the case of (a) a working non-dependant and (b) any non-dependant not on supplementary benefit.

Mrs. Chalker

I regret that information about average rent shares relates not to non-dependants but to claimants. At November 1978 it is estimated that, for all claimants with non-dependants, the average rent share deducted was£3.10.
