Debate on the Address

Proceeding contribution from Matt Western (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 October 2019. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Debate on the Address.

My hon. Friend is making some powerful points. I believe he is alluding to the fact that this Queen’s Speech seemed almost tokenistic, in that it was almost like a shopping list of ambitions and touchpoints of things that the Government and Prime Minister felt to be important. How can there have been no mention of something as crucial to what is needed out there as housing, given that we have homelessness and rough sleeping at record levels, with people desperate and dying on the streets?
