Repeal The Vagrancy Act 1824
The Vagrancy Act 1824 makes it an offence to sleep rough or beg.
It is a barbaric, archaic law that criminalises the very existence of those homeless forced to take to the streets or beg for survival.
Scotland & Ireland removed this outdated law decades ago - England & Wales must join them.
This legislation remains in force and in use. The Government currently has no plans to make changes to the law.
