The home secretary's crackdown would reportedly target 'nuisance' tents, such as those blocking shop doorways, and involve charities that hand out camping equipment being fined.
The home secretary wants to restrict the use of tents by homeless people in UK towns and cities, arguing it is 'a lifestyle choice'. Suella Braverman said many of those who sleep in tents are 'from abroad' and insisted there is no need given the alternatives and support available to rough sleepers.
'The British public raise millions of pounds for homeless people at this time of year, and the government's response is to criminalise those charities trying to help. 'This policy will do nothing to stop rough sleeping and will leave vulnerable people to face the harsh weather conditions without any shelter whatsoever.
