HC Deb 26 April 1971 vol 816 c47W
Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is his revised assessment of the amount that the London Borough of Hackney is to spend on provision for the homeless in the next year.

Mr. Alison

The Council's social services capital works programme for the next three years includes the following proposals for the provision of temporary accommodation for homeless families.

Estimated cost
£
1971–72
40 units to replace existing temporary accommodation due for redevelopment 140,000
1972–73
40 units to replace existing temporary accommodation due for redevelopment 140,000
1973–74
30 units for expansion of stock of temporary accommodation 105,000

I am sorry that in my reply to the hon. Member's supplementary Question on 6th April, I inaccurately stated that all this expenditure would be incurred next year.—[Vol. 815, c. 220–1.]
