§ Mr. Alexander W. Lyonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many homeless persons per 1,000 there were in each of the non-metropolitan district council areas in each of the last five years.
§ Sir George YoungI refer the hon. Member to a series of documents "Homeless Households Reported by Local Authorities in England", copies of which are available in the Library, giving statistics from 1975 to 1980 collected by the Department. The basis on which the statistics are compiled has changed twice since 1975 and a consistent series is not available.
