Homelessness among Refugees

Proceeding contribution from Paul Blomfield (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 July 2018. It occurred during Debate on Homelessness among Refugees.

My hon. Friend is describing a situation that we certainly experience in Sheffield. Voluntary organisations and charities that work with refugees have identified another growing problem that is contributing to homelessness, which is an increasing number of people getting discretionary leave to remain. They are falling through the middle—they lose out on the support they were getting as refugees but do not have recourse to public funds. Does my hon. Friend recognise that that is another serious problem that the Government need to address?
