HC Deb 30 November 1992 vol 215 c70W
Mrs. Helen Jackson

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will ensure that charges for the emptying of cesspits which are over the normal sewerage charge levied by water companies in an area will be wholly or partially met by the Benefits Agency for households living on income support.

Mr. Burt

We have no plans to do so. It would be administratively complex and expensive to take account of local or individual variations in the cost of such items.
