HC Deb 26 May 1976 vol 912 c232W
21. Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what further advice he has given local authorities with regard to criteria to be used when housing the homeless.

Mr. Freeson

Joint Circular 18/74 on homelessness issued by my Department and DHSS sets out the principles which we wish to see followed by local authorities in dealing with homelessness. We will legislate further in this field as soon as possible.
