LABOUR SPIN DESIGNED TO IMPROVE HOMELESS FIGURES: MULHOLLAND

12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Mon 13th Jun 2005

Responding to allegations that councils have been 'bending the law' under Government pressure to reduce the number of people classified as homeless, Greg Mulholland, Member of Parliament for Leeds North West, said:

"The Government cannot keep raising the bar so that vulnerable people aren't classified as homeless, just so they don't feature in the statistics.

"Labour has a shocking record on homelessness, which has doubled since they came to power and is still rising. There are now more than 100,000 families in temporary accommodation, with over 500 in Leeds alone.

"Homeless people don't need more Labour spin. They need more homes."
