Out-Of-borough Placements For Temporary Accommodation
EDM number 2140 in 2007-08, proposed by Karen Buck on 22/07/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Homelessness and Housing.
That this House notes the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) Code of Practice in respect of the use of out-of-borough placements for temporary accommodation, which is intended to protect both vulnerable, homeless households and communities receiving large numbers of other local authorities' homeless families; further notes the large number of such placements being made by, amongst others, Westminster City Council; expresses concern that the number of such placements is having a serious impact upon the well-being of children and vulnerable adults; and calls upon the DCLG to act swiftly to ensure compliance with its own Code of Practice.
This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
