HC Deb 25 May 1973 vol 857 cc194-5W
Mr. Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will review the discharged prisoner's grant; and, as part of such a review, if he will seek to ascertain the minimum weekly cost for a single room in London, Birmingham and Liverpool.

Mr. Carlisle

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Kingston-upon-Thames on 29th March. The cost of single accommodation will be taken into account in reviewing the assistance given to homeless prisoners on discharge.—[Vol. 853, c. 1505.]
