HOUSING NEEDS FOR PERSONS LEAVING THE ARMED FORCES

Early day motion 24, tabled 18 November 2009 by Bob Spink (Independent). Signed by 50 members.

That this House notes with concern that those leaving the armed forces are not given housing priority by local authorities and must register as homeless if they require social housing; further notes the difficulties involved with entering civilian life; and therefore calls on the Government to ensure that those returning from active service are given housing priority by local authorities.
