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

What recent representations he has received on the effect of the out-of-area placement of families by borough councils on receiving local authorities.

I have received representation on this matter from a number of local authorities, including that of my Hon Friend, during my recent visit to Harlow. I was also delighted to meet Streets2Homes, a local homelessness organisation, and hear about the excellent work they are doing on homelessness and rough sleeping.
