§ 20. Mr. Cecil Wilsonasked the Minister of Health how many shelters there are for homeless people in the London area similar to the Hungerford Club, other than those provided by public authorities; what is the accommodation provided; and what are the average nightly numbers occupying such shelters?
§ Mr. E. BrownThe Hungerford Club, which was provided by a local authority and in connection with which a number of voluntary workers are doing excellent work, was established as an ordinary public shelter but now meets a special need. So far as I am aware there are no counterparts elsewhere.
