Emma Reynolds MP, Labour MP for Wolverhampton North East and Shadow Housing Minister, has responded to housing charity Shelter’s report on families with children living in Bed and Breakfasts which revealed that the number of families living in B&Bs is at a 10 year high.Emma said, “It is a disgrace that on David Cameron’s watch the number of families with children living in bed and breakfasts is at a 10 year high.

“The Tory-led Government’s failure to tackle the housing crisis is having tragic consequences. This Christmas thousands of children will be living in completely unacceptable conditions.

“David Cameron promised to tackle homelessness but there are more families without a roof over their heads and more people sleeping on our streets under this out-of-touch Government.”
