§ Mrs. MahonTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will list the organisations(a) which submitted evidence urging the Government to allow special needs hostels to continue being funded on a board and lodgings basis and (b) who proposed different funding arrangements.
§ Mr. Peter Lloyd[holding answer 19 December 1988]: A list of the 346 organisations which made individual submissions considered following the issue of the consultative paper "Help With Hostel Charges" has been placed in the Library. Details of individual organisations' submissions are not normally published, but the responses varied between those who agreed that there was a need for change, those who favoured keeping the present system, those who put forward proposals of their own and those who did not have a preferred solution.
