Mr. Barry Jones
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many people are homeless in Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Grist
In the period October to December 1989, 1,618 households were accepted as homeless by local authorities in Wales. I announced a package of measures to tackle homelessness in Wales on 11 December.
