Labour (Co-op) — Vauxhall and Camberwell Green

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 October 2026

Debate

Rough Sleeping and Good Growth Funds

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for making that important point. She is absolutely right: in many inner urban areas, we find a lot of people without recourse to public funds. It is vital that local authorities exercise discretion about local connections and people who have no recourse to public funds, which should not be a barrier to accessing support. Local authorities have to assess individuals based on their needs, including accommodation, and refer them to additional and appropriate services to help them.
