Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 10 December 2020 to Question 125980, what estimate her Department has made of the number of people who will be affected by the new Immigration Rules which make rough sleeping grounds for refusing or cancelling a person’s permission to be in the UK.
I refer to my answer of 10 December. No estimate has been made of volumes affected by the new immigration rule on rough sleeping as it will be used sparingly and only where a person repeatedly engages in anti-social behaviour and refuses offers of support. Statistics on the number of rough sleepers are available on Gov.uk.
