PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Sleeping Rough (6 January 2020)

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government on the adequacy of funding allocated to tackling rough sleeping.

Asked by:
Mr Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi (Labour)

This Government is committed to ending rough sleeping by the end of the Parliament. That is why last year’s Spending Round announced total resource funding of £422m to reduce rough sleeping and homelessness in 2020/21. This followed on from discussions with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government and represents a £54m increase in funding – a real terms increase of 13%.
