Homelessness Reduction Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Pound (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 28 October 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Homelessness Reduction Bill.

My hon. Friend speaks from a position of great knowledge. I entirely endorse his point about schooling: anyone who goes to Slough station at 7 o’clock in the morning will see 20 or 30 children wearing Ealing school uniforms, making a two-hour journey. That is heart-breaking.

One of the fastest-growing areas of homelessness is parental exclusion. It seems to be perverse to ask a mother or father to evict, through the courts, their daughter or son. Does my hon. Friend agree that parental exclusion should be examined in detail in Committee?
