HC Deb 20 December 1974 vol 883 c667W
Mr. Cyril Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek powers to set up a national agency for the homeless with special powers, with the object of solving the problem of homeless-ness within 18 months.

Mr. Freeson

As my right hon. Friend announced on 10th June, we are undertaking a review of homelessness and this will take account of ideas for organisational changes. I should be glad if the hon. Member would let me have a fuller exposition of his views.
