We’re really glad to see Layla Moran speaking at Prime Minister's Questions today, calling for the repeal of the Vagrancy Act 1824. Homelessness is a huge issue in Sheffield and across the UK, and we are extremely disappointed that the government still won’t repeal the Act. Please sign the petition to force a debate in Parliament! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/205388
“Under the 1824 Vagrancy Act, rough sleeping is illegal. The Act was used nearly 2000 times last y...ear to drag homeless people before the courts. This heartless, Dickensian law should be consigned to the history books across the whole of the UK.” - Layla Moran MP, Oxford West and Abingdon.
