Liberal Democrat — Winchester

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 March 2025

Debate

Male Suicide in Rotherham

Contribution

I thank the hon. Member for giving way and for speaking so eloquently about this difficult and sensitive subject. On that point, it is known that those living in poverty are three times more likely to take their own lives or have mental health issues than people on the average wage. Linking into that, 85% of homeless people are men, and their homelessness is often related to mental health issues. I appreciate all the work that he is doing to highlight poverty.
