Grahame Morris – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Grahame Morris on 2015-10-09.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many 16 and 17 year olds were presented as homeless to Durham County Council in the most recent 12 months for which figures are available.

Mr Marcus Jones

The Department for Communities and Local Government collects data on the numbers of households accepted as owed a homelessness duty, where the reason the household is in priority need is that the applicant is aged 16 or 17 years old. There have been no such cases in County Durham in the last 12 months.
