Housing Benefit Regulations

HC Deb 09 June 1982 vol 25 cc131-2W

Mr. Tom Benyon

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he intends to publish draft housing benefit regulations.

Mr. Rossi

The local authority associations and a number of other interested organisations were on 7 June sent copies of most of the draft regulations required to implement the housing benefit scheme. The drafts set out the detail of the scheme and the necessary consequential supplementary benefit amendments apart from certain provisions dealing with the local schemes and the financial orders which will be circulated shortly.

We have asked for any comments on the draft regulations to be made by 25 June.
