The words were spoken in the Commons on 27 June 2022. The correction was made by letter from the Under-Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, the hon. Member for Walsall North (Eddie Hughes), and printed in Hansard's Written Corrections on 5 July 2022. The figure 552 in the original became 520 in the correction, lower by 32. Altogether 4 words differ between the two versions.
The question
I thank my hon. Friend for mentioning the Mayor of the West Midlands—oh my gosh, I have forgotten his name; oh yes, it has come back to me—Andy Street. How does the Minister assess the effectiveness of the Housing First pilot that the Mayor has initiated in addressing rough sleeping in the west midlands?
