asked the Minister for the Environment if he will make an order to allow mortgage subsidy applicants to let their houses if they become unemployed, and are made redundant; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Mortgage Subsidy Scheme.
95.
The mortgage subsidy scheme is designed to assist persons in providing housing for their own occupation and accordingly occupation of the house as a normal place of residence is a condition for continuation of payment of the subsidy. I do not contemplate changing the condition of the scheme so as to allow payment of the subsidy for houses which have been let.
