Proceeding contribution from Steve Witherden (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 March 2026. It occurred during Debate on Rough Sleeping: Families with Children.
Rough Sleeping: Families with Children
The hon. Lady and I both represent rural parts of England and Wales, and she makes an extremely valid point. Not only do rural areas often get overlooked, but there is simply less housing in those areas—it is a double whammy. I thank her for her welcome intervention.
We must ensure that no child is forced to sleep rough in any circumstances. The measures that I have outlined today would be a vital step towards achieving that. Diolch yn fawr.
