MPs are being urged to attend a crucial debate on a bill
to reduce homelessness, to prevent the legislation falling short of a vote. At
least 90 MPs have pledged privately to attend the second reading of the
Homelessness Reduction Bill on 28 October, but more are expected to sign up.
Under parliamentary rules, a minimum of 100 MPs need to attend to bring the
debate to a vote – a ‘closure motion’ – which would stop the bill being talked
out by MPs opposed to the bill’s proposed new duties on councils. The bill
would introduce a duty on councils to prevent homelessness for households who
are 56 days away from losing their home. Read more on Inside Housing.
