Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit (Subsidy) Regulations 1994, subject to the saving provision in regulation 4, to provide for the particulars, which are required to be provided by an authority to the Secretary of State on the making of claims for housing benefit subsidy and council tax benefit subsidy to include details of rent allowance expenditure which exceed certain determinations made by rent officers, information as to rents of dwellings of authorities in Scotland and the Development Board for Rural Wales on 31st March 1995 and on a specified date in March 1994 and as to savings in benefits resulting from investigation by authorities of benefit fraud.

They also remove the requirement to give particulars as to certain overpayments under the Housing Benefit Regulations 1985.
