Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to publish their review of the Vagrancy Act 1824.
This question was answered on 17th November 2021
The Government is clear that no one should be criminalised simply for having nowhere to live and the time has come to reconsider the Vagrancy Act.
Work is ongoing to look at this complex issue and it is important that we look carefully at all options.
We will update on our findings in due course.
