    Robert Jenrick – 2021 Comments on Rough Sleeping

    The comments made by Robert Jenrick, the Housing Secretary, on 15 May 2021.

    At the beginning of the pandemic we took swift and decisive action to bring rough sleepers in from the streets and settled them into longer-term accommodation in record numbers. That work continues, the results are clear and are a huge credit to all involved.

    Ending rough sleeping is a personal mission for the Prime Minister and me – and we have made huge progress since he came into No.10, reducing rough sleeping by 43%.

    To build on this progress, we are making the biggest ever investment under the Rough Sleeping Initiative to provide vital services to those who need it most, as part of our drive to end rough sleeping for good.

    James Heappey – 2021 Comments on Daesh in Mali

    The comments made by James Heappey, the Minister for the Armed Forces, on 15 May 2021.

    This was the first operation of its kind by UN forces in Mali, demonstrating how UK personnel have made a significant contribution to the mission during their first six months in the country.

    Removing the weapons and disrupting the terrorist operation will make a real difference to the local community and importantly the intelligence collected will help develop our understanding and help to prevent the threat from armed groups in the future.

    Nadhim Zahawi – 2021 Comments on the Vaccine Confidence Summit

    The comments made by Nadhim Zahawi, the Minister for Vaccine Deployment, on 15 May 2021.

    Vaccines are the route out of the pandemic, and nobody is safe until we’re all safe.

    This UK-hosted Summit is a significant opportunity for G7 countries to come together with partners across the world to take action to maintain high levels of trust in vaccines and those that provide them.

    The monumental vaccination programme in the UK will start us on the road to building back better from Covid-19 and we must work collectively to ensure people across the world can reclaim their lives and livelihoods.
