Oxford City Council has broken a law against housing
homeless families in B&Bs for more than six weeks. The local authority said
this was due to an "unexpectedly high number" of homeless families in
September and high rents charged by private landlords. It is the first time it
has broken the rule - imposed under government legislation - since 2004. The
government said the long-term use of B&Bs to house families was "both
unacceptable and unlawful". Read more on the BBC website.
