Mr. Bernie Grant

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the number of registered homeless people in the Haringey borough council area on the latest available date; and what are the corresponding figures for each year since 1979.

Mrs. Roe

The numbers of households for whom Haringey reported accepting responsibility to secure accommodation under the homelessness provisions of Housing Acts, in each year from 1981 to 1986, appear in a table which was placed in the Library in May 1987.

Corresponding information for 1979, 1980 and the first half of 1987 appears in "Local Housing Statistics" which is also available in the Library:

Issue number Table number
1979 first and second halves 54 14
1980 first half 59 9
second half 62 13
1987 first quarter 82 9a
second quarter 83 9

Haringey has not yet reported the figures for the second half of 1987 to the Department.

A new reporting system was introduced for London boroughs in the third quarter of 1982, so that figures are not directly comparable over the whole period.

Mr. Bernie Grant

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the number of people on council house waiting lists in the Haringey borough council area on the latest available date; and what are the corresponding figures for each year since 1979.

Mrs. Roe

The number of households on waiting lists at April, and the changes in the previous 12 months, appear in columns B51 and B53, respectively, of the 1986 and 1987 housing investment programme "All items prints" which are available in the Library. Information for earlier years is not available centrally.
