We regularly raise our concerns on this issue and strongly urge the government of Israel to reverse its systematic policy of settlement expansion.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 14/11/2016 16:46:08 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2016 answer text <p>We have no plans to collect constituency level data on rough sleeping. Rough sleeping statistics are available at a local authority level, and can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/homelessness-statistics#rough-sleeping" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/homelessness-statistics#rough-sleeping<br></a><br>It is vital that we are frank and open about the scale of rough sleeping. We overhauled the methodology for counting rough sleepers in 2010, so that now every council has to report the scale of the problem in their area.</p><p>Of course, nobody should ever have to sleep rough, or become homeless in the first place. That is why we launched a £40 million Homelessness Prevention Programme, including a £10 million rough sleeping fund to help new rough sleepers, or people at imminent risk of sleeping rough, and £10 million of funding for Social Impact Bonds to provide targeted support for entrenched single homeless people.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 14/11/2016 15:19:40 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
