Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Rishi Sunak and Thangam Debbonaire

Monday 22nd January 2018 Commons Chamber

[Rishi Sunak]

The Government recognise the pressure on local councils and are determined to get them the resources they need, which is why there will be a real- terms funding increase for local authorities across the country this year, together with the flexibility to deliver more money for adult social care, in the hon. Gentleman’s council and elsewhere.

[Thangam Debbonaire (Bristol West) (Lab)]

Will the Government please commit to reviewing the situation whereby street homeless people are crossing local authority boundaries, going from one where there is little support to others such as Bristol, where there is a great deal?
