HC Deb 05 March 1990 vol 168 c448W
Mr. Fearn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what assessment he has made of the effects of part VI of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 on levels of homelessness.

Mr. Michael Spicer

Part VI of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 will encourage greater efficiency in the management and utilisation of council housing, and should therefore make a positive contribution to reducing levels of homelessness.
