Paul Davies AM has signed a Statement of Opinion to mark World Homelessness Day. This statement will be read out in the Assembly Chamber today by David Melding AM and will hopefully reinforce the Welsh Conservative Party stance on this very important issue which affects people throughout Wales. A home is a basic right for every single person, and opportunities needs to be given to everyone to have a chance to promote good health and to contribute to and feel a part of society.

Mr Davies said, “It was so disappointing to see figures released by Crisis which shows that 8200 people in Wales are facing the absolute worst forms of homelessness. My colleagues and I welcome the ambition from Crisis that they want to see homelessness eradicated throughout the whole of the UK. The Welsh Government needs to redouble its efforts to cease homelessness in Wales and to introduce specific measures which will tackle this huge issue.”
