To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what recent estimate he has made of the number of rough sleepers in England.

The most recent snapshot showed the number of people estimated to be sleeping rough on a single night in autumn 2023 is 3,898.
The Government also collects monthly management information from local authorities, which is published on a quarterly basis.
