HC Deb 27 October 1971 vol 823 c333W
75. Mr. Money

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will issue a circular to local authorities urging greater use to be made of temporarily vacant property as short-term accommodation for homeless families.

Mr. Channon

My right hon. Friend urged boroughs to take this course in a speech earlier this year and a circular letter to this effect had already been sent to all housing authorities in London, where the problem is particularly important, in 1969.
