HC Deb 03 July 2002 vol 388 c336W
24. Richard Ottaway

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister and First Secretary of State what steps he is taking to alleviate homelessness; and if he will make a statement. [64177]

Mrs. Roche

We have adopted a new approach which focuses as much on the problems homeless people face as the places they live. Our specific measures include £125 million investment this year to tackle homelessness, and new legislation to strengthen the assistance to people who are homeless or at risk of being homeless.
