HC Deb 21 January 1991 vol 184 c89W
Mr. Cummings

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his estimate of the numbers of single homeless people in(a) Sunderland district, (b) Easington district and (c) Hartlepool district.

Mr. Yeo

Local authorities report the number of households for whom they accept responsibility to secure accommodation under the homelessness provisions of the Housing Act 1985. The information provided does not identify those who are single and my Department has no estimates.
