Homeless Households In Temporary Accommodation
EDM number 1190 in 2003-04, proposed by Caroline Spelman on 13/05/2004.
That this House recognises the problem of homeless families being housed in temporary accommodation in this country; acknowledges the deleterious effects on families of living in temporary accommodation; notes that half of those people questioned in a survey by Shelter said that they or their families' health had suffered owing to living in such accommodation; further notes that the number of homeless households living in temporary accommodation was 95,060 in December 2003; notes that this has more than doubled from 42,000 in 1997; and calls on the Government to accept the gravity of the situation and take substantive steps to reduce this unacceptable high figure.
This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs.
