To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress has been made to change the name of council tax benefit to council tax rebate; and when they will commence the process of changing it. [HL2640]

We want to change the name of council tax benefit to council tax rebate at the earliest opportunity. However, we cannot commit to a timetable for implementation until we have fully assessed the precise costs and impact of this change. We are engaging with local authorities and their IT suppliers in work to establish the particular delivery implications and associated costs for local authorities. Similar work is being carried out within Jobcentre Plus and the Pensions Disability and Carers Service, where there are major implications for IT systems which link to local authorities' systems and play a crucial role in supporting benefit claims.

[HL2663]
