SCOTTISH Labour has called for “missing in action” SNP housing minister Paul McLennan to resign amid soaring homelessness and a “rough-sleeping emergency.”
The call came after the Scottish government’s own figures revealed that in just three years there had been a staggering 72 per cent rise in the number of households forced to sleep on the streets the night before submitting a formal homeless application.
According to the data, 366 households making an application between July and September 2021 reported sleeping rough the night before, a figure that had rocketed to 631 between July and September 2024.
