§ The Prime MinisterNone. Members of the Social Exclusion Unit are not chosen to act as representatives of any particular field. Given the need to keep the Unit to a sensible size it is not possible to select from every relevant background. We have selected members with a wide range of experience, who will work proactively to draw in the views and expertise of people from other backgrounds, including housing.
