As the Minister of State knows, as we head into Christmas, there are 13,000 people who are living in emergency accommodation. A particularly terrible aspect of that is the significant rise in family homelessness. More than 1,800 families are living in emergency accommodation, including 4,000 children. Those figures are consistently rising. I want to know what particular measures the Government will take to address family and child homelessness.
