HC Deb 26 October 1972 vol 843 c391W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate he has made of the cost to local authorities in Wales of providing temporary accommodation for homeless families.

Mr. Peter Thomas

I understand that this expenditure, which is entirely the responsibility of county and county borough councils, is estimated to be about £56,000 in 1971–72 and £57,000 in 1972–73.
