Main Page: Amber Rudd (Independent - Hastings and Rye)(11 years, 11 months ago)
Commons ChamberThe Government have given some guidelines to local authorities. I shall be happy to provide the hon. Lady with a copy, but obviously we are ensuring that local authorities have the power to decide locally what is right for their communities.
Can the Minister reassure me that under the localisation plans, old-age pensioners will be protected from any discount or other changed arrangement involving their council tax benefit?
Absolutely. We have established protection for all pensioners’ rights.
