Some homeless people use B&Bs as temporary accommodation

Councillors will examine a report setting out how B&Bs would be monitored and how action would be taken to tackle any problems.

Potential complaints range from noise and threats to acts of violence.

The Homelessness (Scotland) Act places a duty on councils to provide temporary accommodation for homeless people.

In January it emerged that the Scottish Executive was considering banning B&Bs for homeless families.

Communities Minister Margaret Curran is consulting on what is deemed suitable accommodation for children.
