(2) how many persons in each of the outer London boroughs were officially recorded as being homeless in each of the years from 1964 to 1970.

Mr. Alison

I have been asked to reply.

The available information relates to men, women and children who are resident in local authority temporary accommodation because they are homeless, and these figures are given below. Comparable figures for 1964 are not available due to the reorganisation of local government in London in April, 1965.
