Matthew Green: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what the average length of time a homeless household in temporary accommodation in each Government Office Region had to wait before being made an offer of a permanent (a) one-bed, (b) two-bed, (c) three- bed and (d) four-bed or more home in (i) 1997 and (ii) 2004. [179946] Yvette Cooper: Information reported by local authorities on their activities under homelessness legislation includes a breakdown of time, by broad time-bands, spent by households in temporary accommodation prior to the authorities' duty coming to an end. This specific information was collected for the first time with effect from the March quarter of 1997, and consequently data quality for this period may be less robust than for later periods. Estimates for latest comparable dates in 1997 and 2004 are tabled as follows.

Matthew Green: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister (1) if he will list the local authorities that failed to submit a P1E return with the number of homeless households in priority need placed in temporary accommodation for the most recent quarterly statistics; and if he will make a statement; [179945] (2) what measures he has taken to ensure that all local authorities submit a P1E return detailing the number of homeless households in priority need they have placed in temporary accommodation. [179947] Yvette Cooper: The Supplementary Table which was published along with the Statistical Release for the first quarter of 2004 on 16 June shows the following sixteen authorities had not provided a P1E return by the time final analyses were prepared: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Region North West: Fylde, Warrington East Midlands: Chesterfield, Hinckley and Bosworth, Lincoln West Midlands: Stratford on Avon, Tamworth East of England: Castle Point, Mid Suffolk1, Southend on Sea London: Ealing, Islington1, Kingston upon Thames1 South East: Medway1, Rother1 South West: Isle of Scilly1 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1 indicates that a return was subsequently received, and after validation the reported information will be added to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's database. The proportion of local authorities submitting PIE returns by closedown has improved from around 90 per cent. two years ago to around 95 per cent. in the past two quarters. The measures taken by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister to encourage authorities to submit P1E returns have been three-fold: 1. Authorities receive three-emailed reminders before, on and after the due submission date (which is three weeks after the end of each quarter), and by regular telephone calls in the weeks prior to final closedown. The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's Interform system, which enables authorities to submit returns electronically, has made the process more efficient and currently around 93 per cent. of authorities have chosen this method. 2. The Housing Data and Statistics Division of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister have been conducting regional seminars on the completion of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's housing and planning statistical returns, including the P1E, which have been well attended. 3. The timely submission of a P1E return is now also one of the conditions for receipt of homelessness grant.
