HC Deb 14 November 1973 vol 864 c202W
Mrs. Hart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what advice he has issued to local authorities, development corporations and the Scottish Special Housing Association on the rehousing of wives and children who are homeless as a result of the breakdown of a marriage.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I have urged local authorities, in reviewing their housing programmes, to give full consideration to the housing needs of all types of household groups and to abolish restrictions on access to the housing list, and I have brought my views on these matters to the attention of new town development corporations and the Scottish Special Housing Association.
