asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what financial support her Department gave to referral services and accommodation for single homeless people in Greater Manchester under her Department's Circular 37/72, in 1973–74 and 1974–75; what support is to be given in 1975–76; and if she will make a statement on the likely effect on the projects in the area.
