Motion text

That this House views with alarm the increase in homelessness, which presently stands at 380,000 and is currently at its highest level since 1997; accepts the need for a census of the UK's hidden homeless to be taken in order to determine the true extent of Britain's homelessness problem; expresses great concern that some organisations predict that homelessness could rise to 650,000 by 2010; acknowledges the squalor and degradation experienced by those without a home as well as the physical and psychological trauma associated with homelessness; deplores the Government's failure to maintain the social house-building record of the previous Conservative administration; and calls on the Government to take urgent action to address this growing problem.
