More than 120,000 children are now in temporary
accommodation – a 66% rise since the government came to power. Responding to questions on the figure, Marcus

can plan strategically to reduce the number of people in temporary
accommodation,” Jones said. Jones also cited homelessness prevention as at the
centre of the government’s approach to protecting the most vulnerable. Read
