HC Deb 10 April 1973 vol 854 c245W
Mr. Douglas-Mann

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many homeless families and single people, respectively, are being lodged in bed and breakfast or other temporary accommodation by local authorities in the Greater London area, or are being refused accommodation, by reason of the shortage of Part III accommodation.

Mr. Dean

At the end of 1972 there were 4,476 families in temporary Part III accommodation provided by local authorities in the Greater London area: 343 families boarded out by local authorities in bed and breakfast accommodation on 1st December are known to the London Boroughs Association. I regret that the other information requested is not available.
