Motion · S5M-18681 · 3 Sep 2019
Stop the Lock Changes
The motion
That the Parliament notes the coalition of action and activism in Glasgow, and across Scotland, that aims to challenge the Home Office and Serco’s policy of forced lock changes; acknowledges the calls on the Scottish Government, Glasgow City Council and its key third sector partners to accelerate their anti-destitution work and put in place a Scottish accommodation-based support system that enables people to have short-term dignified accommodation, to be safe and to get the services and stability to make an informed choice about their futures, and notes the calls for the Scottish Government and Glasgow City Council to act in unison to overturn the Home Office's Hostile Environment Policy, to lower the risk of rendering vulnerable people homeless, open to exploitation and at greater risk of mental deterioration.
