Part of Portfolio Question Time – in the Scottish Parliament at 12:53 pm on 7 November 2024.
To be frank, the current action is not working. Figures that were released last month revealed that more than 15,000 children in Scotland are homeless and that the average time taken to access support is worsening. It is a fact that the Scottish Government has failed to tackle homelessness for the past 17 years. Does the minister agree with Shelter Scotland that those figures are “shocking and indefensible”?
