Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, pursuant to the Answer of 18 September 2023 to Question 199185 on Sleeping Rough, and with reference to page 36 of his Department’s publication entitled End Rough Sleeping for Good, CP 713, published in September 2022, what steps he has taken to share accountability with devolved Administrations for delivering a strategy on ending rough sleeping by the end of this Parliament.

This Government remains committed to its goal to end rough sleeping within this Parliament and we need all partners, local and national government, third and private sector, to work together.

My Hon Friend may already be aware that each of the devolved administrations has published their own strategies on ending homelessness and rough sleeping. We remain committed to collaborating with the devolved administrations and my officials meet regularly with their counterparts to share best practice.
