Rosemary Butler has welcomed a scheme to improve take up of Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit. The Welsh Assembly Government will be making £1 million per year to local authorities to target those not claiming their entitlements. Newport City Council has over 22,000 claimants and will receive an additional £70,000 per annum to encourage take up. She stated "Newport City Council will now find it easier to target the advice and support it offers on benefits. I want to see everyone who is eligible receiving these benefits."
