Text
I thank the Minister for providing that confirmation. Further to that, does she agree that homelessness is not a criminal offence and that policy interventions, rather than criminal sanctions, are required to address it?
34 words. Text as published by the Northern Ireland Assembly.
Part of an exchange
This follow-up belongs to: Topical question AQT 296/22-27.
Assessment
Not analysed
This is the same MLA’s follow-up within the exchange on their own question. It is analysed together with that question and is not counted separately, so one question is never counted twice.
