§ 28. Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will estimate the number of men and women in the United Kingdom who are not claiming 444W rent and rate rebates and other allowances to which they are entitled under schemes which come under the aegis of his Department.
§ Sir George YoungThe latest available estimates are provisional and relate to the financial year 1981–82. They suggest that some 1¾ million householders in England were failing to claim rate rebates, rent rebates or rent allowances to which they were entitled. For estimates for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, I refer the hon. and learned Member to my right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, respectively.
