What was announced
Prime Minister Andy Burnham's remarks at the Rough Sleeping Summit.
Key points, in the publisher's words
- This is the first rough sleeping summit, ladies and gentlemen, here, in Downing Street and looking around the room, I can see so many people have travelled to be with us today. Thank you. Thank you all for doing it.
- I just wanted you to just dwell on the moment for a minute before we get into the amazing presentations we’ve heard, and all the issues we’re here to discuss.
- Just think about the significance of the moment for one minute. Because we’re gathered here in the most powerful place in the land to talk about people who often feel forgotten, nobody cares.
