HC Deb 09 June 1986 vol 99 c62W
9. Mr. Anderson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what measures he proposes to seek to reduce the number of Welsh households accommodated by local councils in bed and breakfast hotels.

Mr. Mark Robinson

It is for local housing authorities to decide how to use the resources available to them but the Government's code of guidance recommends that local authorities place homeless people in bed and breakfast accommodation only as a last resort for as short a period as possible.
