Mr. Fraser
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what measures he is taking to provide accommodation for the homeless.
Mr. Michael Spicer
My Department is making available capital resources of nearly £2 billion to local authorities in 1991–92. Support for housing associations through the Housing Corporation will rise to £1·7 billion in 1991–92 and to over £2 billion by 1993–94. The special homelessness allocation for local authorities and housing associations in London and the south-east has now been increased to £300 million over this year and next. In addition we are providing £100 million between now and 1993 for the initiative to combat single homelessness in London.
