Ms Kelly

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how many times(a) the Minister for Housing and Planning and (b) his officials met service charities to discuss Part II of the Homes Bill; and what the outcome was of these meetings. [149103]

Mr. Robert Ainsworth

There have been no meetings between the Minister for Housing and Planning and service charities to discuss Part II of the Homes Bill. Officials from my Department's Rough Sleepers Unit have met service charities a number of times to discuss the prevention of homelessness among ex-servicemen.
