Text

Thank you for your answer, Minister. Non-standard temporary accommodation has risen by over 500% in my constituency. I am dealing with a particularly distressing case in which one of my constituents — a young woman who has just had a caesarean section — has been returned to a hotel bedroom along with her baby and toddler. That is no way for a child to start their life.
Will the Minister look into that matter and see whether we can get her out of that temporary accommodation, now? It is affecting her mental health and well-being, and that of her two children.
