§ 16. Mr. FraserTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what measures he is taking to provide accommodation for the homeless.
§ Mr. Michael SpicerMy Department is making available capital resources of nearly £2 billion to local authorities in 1991–92. Support for housing associations through the Housing Corporation will rise to £1.7 billion in 1991–92 and to over £2 billion by 1993–94. The special homelessness allocation for local authorities and housing associations in London and the south-east has now been increased to £300 million over this year and next. In addition we are providing £100 million between now and 1993 for the initiative to combat single homelessness in London.
