Homelessness

Proceeding contribution from Layla Moran (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 January 2020. It occurred during Opposition day on Homelessness.

The Secretary of State is being very generous in giving way. I am pleased to hear him outline the strategy for rough sleeping, but is he aware that rough

sleeping in this country is illegal, under the Vagrancy Act 1824, which is still on the statute book? We are running a campaign with St Mungo’s, Crisis and others to have it repealed.
