Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many privately run hotels and guest houses catering mainly for social security recipients are registered with his Department; and how many of these have been inspected by the Department.

None. The Department of Health and Social Security has no powers either to register or to inspect private hotels and guest houses.
