Homelessness

Proceeding contribution from Mike Amesbury (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 January 2020. It occurred during Opposition day on Homelessness.

If the Secretary of State was to be kicked out of his house and find himself in the unfortunate circumstance of living on the street, of course mental health issues, depression, drug dependency and alcoholism

might then result, but the Government have cut homelessness support by £1 billion a year over the last decade—this is nothing new—and cuts have consequences. I think, for example, of the 726 people—an increase of 50%—who lost their lives last year
