Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Michael Tomlinson and James Brokenshire

Monday 4th March 2019 Commons Chamber

[James Brokenshire]

I hope he will acknowledge the additional funding that will be going to Birmingham in the next financial year through the rough sleeping initiative and the funding that NHS England has committed to health services for rough sleepers. Clearly, I will want to know and be certain that funding is applied to Birmingham and those areas where we have seen an increase in rough sleeping, for the very purpose that he underlines; we can save lives.
