Rent Rebates And Housing Allowances

Mr. Frank Allaun
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the best estimate available of the current take-up rate for rent rebates and housing allowances ; and if he will publish figures for previous years for the purpose of comparison.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg
The latest estimates of the take-up of rent rebates and rent allowances are given in table XX of Housing and Construction Statistics No 32, a copy of which is available in the Library.
