HC Deb 09 July 1981 vol 8 c185W
40. Mr. Best

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what initiatives he intends to take to overcome those problems confronting homeless people which are within his responsibilities.

Mr. Raison

We have no departmental responsibility for the problems of homelessness, but we are continuing to assist certain voluntary organisations which, as part of their activities, provide help to homeless people.
