§ Mr. Alfred MorrisTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what representations the Minister for Social Security and Disabled People has received, 623W including those from Habinteg, about the impact on disabled people of the Government's housing policies; what replies he has sent or will be sending; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. HagueI have received two letters from Habinteg, one dated 6 December 1994 and another dated 15 February 1995 which was forwarded to me by the right hon. Member for Manchester, Wythenshawe (Mr. Morris) on 16 February. I responded to the earlier letter on 19 January 1995 and have responded to the right hon. Member today.
The Department of the Environment has responsibility for the Government's housing policies and I am in regular contact with it in relation to the effect of policies on disabled people.
