4 Nov 2023 Jahr - Braverman Plans to Restrict Tent Usage by Homeless

Beschreibung:

The home secretary is proposing new laws to restrict the use of tents by homeless people, arguing that many of them see it as a "lifestyle choice".

Suella Braverman's plan would introduce new penalties in England and Wales for homeless people who authorities believe have rejected offers of help.

The plan was to stop "those who cause nuisance... by pitching tents in public spaces," she said.

Housing charity Shelter said: "Nobody should be punished for being homeless".

The plan is expected to be included in the King's speech on Tuesday, which sets out the government's legislative agenda and is expected to focus heavily on law and order.

Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, Ms Braverman said: "Nobody in Britain should be living in a tent on our streets. There are options for people who don't want to be sleeping rough."
