§ Mr. Paul MarsdenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how many people sleeping rough died, broken down by cause of death, in each year since 1992; and if he will make a statement. [111070]
§ Mr. HillThe Government do not collect this information. Research has, however, shown that the mortality rate of rough sleepers is higher than that of the general population; that rough sleepers are more likely than the general population to die of unnatural causes; and that they are much more likely to commit suicide.
