Turning to Amendment 112, I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Thornhill, for raising the important issue of exempting local planning authorities from applying space standards on local planning applications concerning the delivery of “stepping stone” accommodation. I was very grateful to the noble Baroness for bringing a Centrepoint representative to meet me. The organisation is doing vital work in supporting young people at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness, and it was great to meet its representative to learn about how it is implementing its plans.
