The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will publish the (a) minutes and (b) list of attendees for the first inter-ministerial group for ending homelessness.

Answered by Rushanara Ali

The Inter-Ministerial Group, chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister, includes ministers from across government and is focused on developing a long-term strategy to get us back on track to ending homelessness. This includes ministers from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, Home Office, Department for Education, Department for Work and Pensions, Department for Health and Social Care, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Justice, Cabinet Office, and His Majesty’s Treasury.

In line with the practice of successive administrations, detailed minutes of ministerial meetings - even those that are declared publicly - are not normally disclosed.
