The Vagrancy (Repeal) Bill would repeal the Vagrancy Act 1824, removing the criminal offences related to vagrancy. In simple terms, it would stop vagrancy from being a crime under that Act; the bill does not replace it with a new vagrancy offence.
The bill has completed its first reading and is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons.
