HC Deb 08 April 1971 vol 815 c269W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will now enable husbands to go into Part III accommodation with their families.

Mr. Dean

Our policy, set out in Circulars 20/66 and 19/67, is that wherever possible husbands should remain with their families in temporary accommodation. I understand that, in Leicester, in the view of the County Borough Council, existing temporary accommodation does not permit this, but that suitable alternative accommodation is being sought as a matter of urgency.
