HC Deb 07 July 1998 vol 315 c457W
13. Mr. Gerrard

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what action he is taking to tackle youth homelessness. [47633]

Ms Armstrong

Too many young people, starting on the road to independence, have their lives and development blighted by the lack of a suitable home. To tackle this problem, I have invited the voluntary sector and Local Government to join Central Government in a Youth Homelessness Action Partnership. I will be chairing the inaugural meeting on Tuesday 14 July.
