Vol. 485 No. 2

Written Answers. - Local Authority Housing.

Brian O'Shea

Ceist:

267 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the proposals, if any, he has in view of the fact that a significant number of social welfare recipients lost 20 per cent of their increases in social welfare payment through increased differential rent; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23062/97]

The determination of the rents of their dwellings is an integral part of the responsibility of local authorities for the management of their housing stock and I have no proposals to change this situation.
