Ms. Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many of the households currently housed in bed-and-breakfast accommodation in England and Wales are one-parent families; and what percentage this is of the total number of households in bed-and-breakfast accommodation.

Mrs. Roe

At 30 September 1987, there were about 11,300 households temporarily placed in bed—and—breakfast accommodation by English and Welsh local authorities under the homelessness provisions of the 1985 Housing Act. Information on the number of one-parent families placed in such accommodation is not collected.
