§ Mr. Squireasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether the Government's proposals to abolish the distinction between householders and non-householders in the proposed income support scheme includes the abolition of the addition paid for housing costs to non-householders.
§ Mr. NewtonYes. The rate of personal allowance in the income support scheme would be determined by the claimant's age and marital status rather than by his housing circumstances.
