Josh Babarinde

Liberal Democrat — Eastbourne

Speaking in the House of Commons on 29 October 2024

Debate

Sustainable Public Finances

Contribution

The last Government left Eastbourne borough council in a position in which it spends 49p in every pound it collects in council tax on temporary accommodation. We need a solution, because that is not sustainable for councils or families. Will the Chancellor commit to supporting councils with the cost of temporary accommodation, and to investing in preventing homelessness in the first place?
