HC Deb 10 May 1971 vol 817 cc32-3W
Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will issue a circular to all local authorities advising them of the undesirability of herding together on one estate large numbers of families who are rendered homeless.

Mr. Amery

Such advice was contained in a joint circular from the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, the Ministry of Health and the Home Office (M.H.L.G. circular No. 58/66) issued to all local authorities in October, 1966. This advice may need to be reviewed in the light of reports expected from the Working Party on Homelessness in London set up by the Secretary of State for Social Services.
