Lord Greenhalgh (Con)
As Faith Minister, I completely agree. Places of worship, whether they are gurdwaras, temples, churches or synagogues, play a huge part in dealing with the social issues of our time, including homelessness.
Lord Young of Cookham (Con)
Does my noble friend agree that rough sleepers, and those working with them, are particularly vulnerable to Covid? Will he recommend to the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation that they should be a priority?
Lord Greenhalgh (Con)
My Lords, I am happy to make representations to the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation about making this decision.
