Scottish Labour demands action on child homelessness

SCOTTISH Labour demanded action today on the scandal of record numbers of children laguishing in temporary accommodation across the country.

Ahead of stage two of the Housing (Scotland) Bill being considered next month, Scottish Labour housing spokesman Mark Griffin used a Holyrood debate today to call on all parties to back amendments to the Bill which would make consideration of the rights and best interests of a child a statutory duty for homelessness prevention services.
