Labour — Bethnal Green and Stepney

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 July 2025

Debate

Homelessness Prevention

Contribution

The hon. Gentleman will be aware that we inherited a homelessness crisis, with record levels of people in temporary accommodation. Rough sleeping has gone up by 164% since 2010. The previous Labour Government cut homelessness and rough sleeping dramatically. We are investing to tackle the root causes of homelessness, and I look forward to working with the hon. Gentleman on those issues.
