Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Rushanara Ali and Alison Bennett

Monday 7th April 2025 Commons Chamber

[Rushanara Ali]

The hon. Member will be aware that there is a massive housing shortage and that there are challenges around supported housing. We need to ensure, as we are doing, that victims of domestic violence get the support they need, which is why we provided the additional uplift of £30 million, to a total of £160 million.

I look forward to working with her and others on this very important agenda.
