The question

What steps her Department is taking to help reduce the number of children in temporary accommodation.

Answered by Rushanara Ali

We have also invested almost £1 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping.

And we are developing a cross-government strategy to get us back on track to ending homelessness.
