738 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if, regarding social welfare recipients who are local authority tenants, his attention has been drawn to the fact that when social welfare rates of payment are increased it is possible that a part of these increases can be lost through an increase in rental payments to the local authority if the recipient’s income goes above the income threshold set by the local authority; if he intends to take steps or issue any directives to the local authorities regarding this practice; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
