This Bill would decriminalise rough sleeping by removing criminal penalties connected with sleeping rough and replacing them with duties on authorities to provide housing and support. It aims to shift the approach from punitive measures to help, ensuring people who are sleeping rough can access shelter, housing, and services.

This Bill will therefore make no further progress.
