§ 51. Mr. O'Halloranasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what discussions he has had with the London Borough of Islington, regarding the working paper produced by Islington Poverty Action Group regarding homeless in Islington; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ChannonNone. Many of the points raised in the paper apply to London as a whole and are already being pursued by the Government in general discussions with the London authorities. Those of particular concern to Islington are a matter in the first place for that council and I understand that they will be meeting the Islington Poverty Action Group for discussions. I expect to be informed of those discussions through the continuing liaison my Department has with the Borough Council.
