HC Deb 22 March 1994 vol 240 cc125-6W
Mr. Robert Ainsworth

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his definition of "unintentional" as it will apply to those being assessed as homeless under his legislative proposals.

Sir George Young

The consultation paper "Access to Local Authority and Housing Association Tenancies" states in paragraph 13.1 that the Government believes that the present provisions on intentionality remain appropriate, although they will require some modification to reflect the new legislation".

We will decide on the revised definition of intentionality in the light of the responses to the consultation.
