Stunell gives Christmas support to the homeless

December 21, 2005 4:23 PM

Homeless man sleeping rough.Andrew Stunell MP has raised the plight of homeless people in Parliament this Christmas season as thousands of people across the North West prepare to spend Christmas on the streets or in shelters.

Hazel Grove MP, Andrew Stunell said:

"Homelessness is a very real and worrying problem in our country. The charity, Shelter expects almost 130,000 children to be without a home on Christmas day.

"The problem of homelessness is even worse than Government figures suggest with thousands of 'hidden homeless' people living in temporary accommodation. I am asking the Government to do more to stop homelessness and to help some of our country's most vulnerable people.

"There are many charities and thousands of individuals who will provide shelter, food and support to homeless people this Christmas season - their dedication and generosity is an inspiration."

ENDS

    If you are a resident of the Hazel Grove constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
