HC Deb 26 June 2002 vol 387 c930W
Mr. Willetts

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many lone parents aged 16 and 17 years reside in local authority accommodation with(a) on-site support, (b) floating support and (c) no specialist support. [62578]

Mr. McNulty

Available information reported by local authorities in England on last year's Housing Investment Programme returns indicated a total of some 260 units with on-site support, and 390 with floating support occupied by lone parents under the age of 18 as at 1 April 2001. The corresponding number in non-supported accommodation on that date was not collected, but authorities reported making just over 1,800 lettings to lone parents under 18 years of age during 2000–01.
