Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Anti-Social Behaviour Action Plan, published on 27 March 2023, what guidance her Department plans to publish on the definition of (a) nuisance and (b) blight caused by homeless people.

We are carefully considering a statutory definition and will be using existing definitions where possible and appropriate.

Further details will be set out in legislation and accompanying guidance at the earliest opportunity, following further engagement with stakeholders.
