Impact Of The Housing Bill Upon Homelessness

EDM number 476 in 1995-96, proposed by Joyce Quin on 21/02/1996.

That this House notes the widespread concern among homeless groups about the impact of the Housing Bill upon vulnerable people and their families; calls on the Government in particular to consider appeals from the Gateshead Homeless Group and others to reverse the decision to compare rents in bed and breakfast accommodation with other single room accommodation, such as bedsits, for housing benefit purposes; and believes that unless this aspect is reconsidered many people who desperately need bed and breakfast accommodation will find themselves being made homeless.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs.
