Sky News presenter Kay Burley tackled Gillian Keegan as she stumbles over Government plans to 'arrest homeless people for smelling excessively'. The cabinet minister admitted during the interview they 'should not be arrested just because they smell'.
Cabinet minister Gillian Keegan today admitted homeless people 'should not be arrested just because they smell' as she was challenged over planned new laws.
The Bill states that rough sleepers might be considered a 'nuisance' if there is 'excessive smell', if they display 'intimidating' signs, or cause litter. Tory backbenchers are plotting a rebellion against new powers to deal with rough sleeping in PM Rishi Sunak's Criminal Justice Bill, which has been branded 'completely unacceptable'
She said the Government needed to strike a balance between supporting rough sleepers into accommodation and employment, and ensuring members of the public were protected from 'aggressive' begging or other 'nuisance'. 'But at the same time our legislation has provisions in place which are designed to assist the police with addressing behaviour that could make the public feel unsafe or intimidated
The newspaper reported the Government had 'paused' the legislation while ministers negotiate with rebels. More than 40 Conservative MPs - including most of the One Nation group of moderate Tories - have reportedly made it clear they will vote against the PM's Criminal Justice Bill 'That's not right, we want to provide the resources for people - housing, improving the number of refuges people can sleep in, and the amount of social housing and affordable housing, which we've done.
'And there should be those places where people can go to. But... that shouldn't be optional for people. If there are places that people can go to off the streets, then those people should be off the streets.
He is being supported by former Conservative leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith and fellow ex-Cabinet minister Damian Green, the chairman of the One Nation group of Tory MPs.
