HC Deb 17 December 1980 vol 996 cc182-3W
Mr. Ray Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many families have been listed as homeless in Mid-Glamorgan in November of this year; and what was the number so listed at the same time in each year since 1971–72.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Information on homelessness has been collected quarterly since 1978, but data for the quarter ending December 1980 are not yet available. In the last quarter of 1979 housing authorities in Mid-Glamorgan accepted 287 families as being homeless; the corresponding figure for the last quarter of 1978 was 274.
