HC Deb 01 February 1980 vol 977 c799W
Mr. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will now review the provision of the Housing Finance Act 1972, whereunder only the first £4 of a person's war pension can be discounted in determining that person's entitlement to a rent and rate rebate.

Mr. Stanley

Local authorities already have discretionary powers to give more generous assistance than is provided by the statutory schemes, but the case for uprating the mandatory war pension disregard will be kept under review.
