HC Deb 17 March 1976 vol 907 cc566-7W
55. Mr. Lane

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make a further statement on his plans for legislation on homelessness, in the light of the consultations undertaken so far.

Mr. Freeson

I have nothing as yet to add to the statement on 20th February, during the Second Reading debate on the hon. Member's Homes Bill, on the Government's intentions. However, my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State has since met both the local authority associations, at member level, and voluntary organisations. Three further meetings, at official level, have already been arranged with them.
