Mr. Gwilym Jones
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the numbers of those legally defined as homeless for each district council in Wales; and if he will estimate the proportion of each who do not have a roof over their heads.
Mr. Nicholas Bennett
Data for the third quarter of 1990 on the number of cases accepted as homeless, or threatened with homelessness within 28 days, as described in part 3, section 58 of the Housing Act 1985, are given in the following table. The proportion of these cases who do not have a roof over their head is nil.
