To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many people are homeless in the parliamentary constituency of Cheltenham.

Sir George Young

Information is reported quarterly by local authorities in England on the number of households for whom they accept responsibility, to secure permanent accommodation, under the homelessness provisions of the Housing Act 1985.

This is not available for the Cheltenham parliamentary constituency but Cheltenham district council reported that they had accepted 39 households as homeless in the quarter ending 30 September 1993.
