HC Deb 24 July 1991 vol 195 c659W
Mr. O'Hara

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has for providing accommodation for single homeless people sleeping rough outside London, in response to the preliminary findings of the 1991 census.

Mr. Yeo

My Department's single homelessness initiative has made a very encouraging start in dealing with the problems of rough sleepers in central London. Taking this and the census figures into account, we are considering the possibility of extending the initiative outside central London.
