Sources said a grant was given for the work at her then-husband’s house in Stockport as one of her children is blind.

But at the time Ms Rayner was registered as living a mile away at a council house she bought under the right-to-buy scheme.

She was listed on the electoral roll there for five years after marrying.

Yet when re-registering two births, she put hubby Mark’s address down.
