Homelessness

Proceeding contribution from Jim Cunningham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 February 2018. It occurred during Estimates day on Homelessness.

We do not have to go too far from here—just down to Victoria—to see people living rough on the streets. I often wonder why nothing has been done about them, and I see them regularly down there. There is another factor too. Homeless families have been exploited by landlords and are in overcrowded accommodation, and some of them are evicted because they cannot afford to pay the rents, so we should think about building council housing for a change as well.
