§ Lord Hyltonasked Her Majesty's Government:
Why they refused to comment on the suggestions contained in the Report of the United Kingdom Working Party of the International Federation of Housing and Planning, Homelessness, an act of man, published in 1987 as part of a submission to the United Nations.
The Earl of CaithnessThe report was incorrect in claiming that Her Majesty's Government had agreed to comment on it. The Government have, however, made clear their approach to the problem of homelessness on numerous occasions, most recently when your Lordships debated the subject on 20th January.
