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

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they will take to eradicate rough sleeping in England; and what is their timescale for doing so.

Homelessness and rough sleeping levels in England are far too high. This has a devastating impact on those affected and harms our communities.

We must address this and deliver long-term solutions. The Government is considering these issues carefully and is committed to putting Britain back on track to ending homelessness. To do this we will develop a new cross-government strategy, working with mayors and councils across the country.
