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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will make a statement setting out the implications for his Department's policy on rough sleeping of the publication of Rough sleeping in England: autumn 2017.

One person without a home is one too many and we are determined to tackle this issue.

The recently established Rough Sleeping and Homelessness Reduction Taskforce will design and drive forward the implementation of our cross-government strategy to achieve our commitment of halving rough sleeping by 2022 and eliminating it altogether by 2027. This strategy will include a timeline and action plan for meeting this commitment and will be published by July this year.
