HC Deb 16 March 1984 vol 56 c298W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received from the London Boroughs Association regarding the Government's proposals for the single homeless in the event of abolition of the Greater London council

Sir George Young

I must ask the hon. Member to await the summary analysis of the main points arising from consultation.

Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how the Government propose to ensure that organisations providing a London-wide service for single homeless people are funded if the Greater London council is abolished.

Sir George Young

Voluntary organisations now funded by the GLC will be able to look to the London boroughs for support, acting either individually or collectively on a voluntary basis — as takes place at present through the scheme operated by the London Boroughs Association. We are considering in the light of representations received whether any further arrangements are needed.
