Mr. Mallon

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will take steps to introduce to Northern Ireland legislation equivalent to the Homeless Persons Act 1977; and if he will make a statement.

It is the Government's intention to publish a proposal for a draft housing Order-in-Council this year which will contain homelessness provisions broadly corresponding to those contained in part III of the Housing Act 1985.
