Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will bring forward plans to (a) require all local authorities to measure the level of single non-priority homelessness in their areas and (b) collate that data in a national database.

Information on homeless households not in priority need is already collected and published in table 770 of the homelessness live tables which can be viewed at:

No information is collected on the household type of households found to be not in priority need.
