Homelessness Reduction Bill

Proceeding contribution from Rosena Allin-Khan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 28 October 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Homelessness Reduction Bill.

In my first 100 days as an MP, I have heard from one family every four days that they are facing homelessness and eviction, but are deemed to be not vulnerable enough. In the past week, I have been emailed by 300 Tooting constituents who are alarmed by this problem. They are asking me how a family is not vulnerable enough when they are having to resort to sleeping on the streets. I thank the hon. Gentleman for raising these points. We have all heard in this Chamber today that the issue needs to be addressed, and I am thankful that that is happening.
