- Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
- Meeting date: 16 November 2017
In September the London Assembly Housing Committee published a report looking at Hidden Homelessness in Greater London. This highlighted gaps in the data collection around hidden homelessness and those accessing housing support. Your response to question 2017/2753 highlighted the CHAIN work regarding rough sleepers, but it would be beneficial to have this information for all veterans who present to their local authority housing departments for assistance. Therefore, will the Mayor lobby London local authorities to encourage them to ask all people requesting assistance from their housing departments whether they have ever been a member of the UK Armed Forces?
