Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she has made an estimate of the number of people made homeless by the consultation on the new powers introduced by the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023.

The Government is committed to consulting on the implementation of measures in the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023. We will provide an update on our next steps in relation to the implementation of measures in the Act shortly. We intend to work closely with local authorities to ensure appropriate guidance is available.
