Labour — Newcastle upon Tyne North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 October 2026

Debate

Electronic Monitoring of Offenders

Contribution

I agree with the right hon. Lady that it is completely unacceptable for a prisoner to be released with a tent. That is not Government policy, and it is not something that we want to see. That is why we are working at pace to improve the current homelessness situation that we inherited from the previous Government, to make sure that nobody, including prison leavers, leaves prison homeless or has to live homeless.
