Mr. Straw

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to his answer of 28 January,Official Report, column 438, which local authorities formally made representations to him in writing seeking restrictions on the rights of access of homeless persons to social housing before October 1993.

Sir George Young

Over the years, as part of our continuing dialogue with local authorities, we have received a steady flow of representations on different aspects of housing policy, including the homelessness legislation. We do not keep a separate record of the sort of representations that the hon. Member appears to have in mind.
