Vagrancy Act 1824
(asked on 6th December 2021) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans, if any, they have to repeal the Vagrancy Act 1824.
This question was answered on 17th December 2021
This Government is clear that no one should be criminalised simply for having nowhere to live and that is why it’s time to review the Vagrancy Act.
Work is underway to look at this complex issue and it is important we carefully look at all options.
The Government will update on our findings in due course.
