HL Deb 19 July 1995 vol 566 cc21-2WA
Earl Russell

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they arc planning any further capital funding for the Rough Sleepers Initiative.

Lord Lucas

The Housing White Paper (Our Future Homes, Cm 2901) confirms that the Government will continue the Rough Sleepers Initiative in central London beyond March 1996, when it had been due to end. When all the flats being funded under the second phase of the initiative are occupied, the Government will review the need for further capital funding to provide move-on accommodation.
