Department for Education

Proceeding contribution from Siobhain McDonagh (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 July 2022. It occurred during Estimates day on Department for Education.

Further to my hon. Friend’s intervention, the other side of the coin for local authorities is finding temporary accommodation anywhere for families with children. I am sure that many families from London end up being placed in temporary accommodation in the right hon. Gentleman’s constituency. In my constituency, we are seeing more families farmed out to Kent or Essex, so staying on at a primary school is extraordinarily difficult,

with over 124,000 children in temporary accommodation. Does he think that those issues should be taken in the round because of their impact on education?
