Bed-and-breakfast Accommodation

HC Deb 21 January 1997 vol 288 c520W

Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many people were in bed-and-breakfast accommodation in each of the London boroughs on 1 January. [11314]

Mr. Clappison

Information is published on households accommodated under statutory homelessness provisions in a quarterly information bulletin, entitled "Households found accommodation under the homelessness provisions of the Housing Act 1985: England". The bulletin includes a table on homeless households temporarily accommodated and this identifies those in bed-and-breakfast accommodation.

In the Library are copies of the bulletin, the latest of which provides statistics for the third quarter of 1996.
