HC Deb 04 March 2004 vol 418 cc1117-8W
Mr. Hoyle

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many homeless units operate in Lancashire; and how many homeless units are to be built in Lancashire. [154317]

Yvette Cooper

Specific information on the number of existing homeless dwellings operating in Lancashire and the number of homeless dwellings to be built in Lancashire is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

In 2003–04 there were an estimated completion of 160 dwellings in Lancashire for social rent of which some, for example, could be used to accommodate homeless households.
