HC Deb 22 June 1981 vol 7 c50W
Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will issue guidelines to local authorities which are obliged to implement the terms of the Housing (Homeless Persons) Act.

Mr. Rifkind

Extended guidance on the Act was issued by my right hon. Friend in September 1980, and this has been generally well received. My right hon. Friend does not have proposals for further guidance at present, but if my hon. Friend cares to write to me about any point of difficulty I shall see if I can help him.
