HC Deb 27 November 1992 vol 214 c920W
Mr. McMaster

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish the number of households regarded as homeless in Scotland during each of the last 10 years.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

The figures for households applying to housing authorities under the homeless legislation who were assessed by authorities as either homeless or potentially homeless can be found in table 1 of the Scottish Office statistical bulletin "Operation of the Homeless Persons Legislation, Scotland 1980–81–1991–92", which was published on 26 November. Copies of the bulletin have been placed in the Library.
