§ 27. Mr. HardyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the estimate of the number of people who are either homeless or inadequately housed.
§ Mr. GummerSome 128,000 households were accepted by local authorities in England as statutorily homeless during the 12 months ending in June 1994. In 1992, a housing attitudes survey carried out for my Department found that only 2 per cent. of households were very dissatisfied with their housing; some of this dissatisfaction will have been associated with factors other than the adequacy of the accommodation, for example its location.
