Debate

Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend, who is a member of the Select Committee, for his engagement and his work. I also thank all the other Committee members and the Clerk for their work on this important report. The point raised by my hon. Friend is so important. I visited Crawford primary school in my constituency this morning before I came here, and the key issue raised by the headteacher was temporary accommodation and how the number of children living in TA is affecting their educational attainment. We really need to ensure that the Government are addressing this, because we want every child to benefit from the massive increases the Government are making in breakfast clubs and in more teachers. If our children are not turning up to school because they are travelling for, in some cases, two hours just to get there, they are not going to benefit from those changes.
