To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will respond to the Salvation Army's report The Seeds of Exclusion 2009 concerning homeless people, with particular reference to mental illness and unemployment; and whether they will draw the report's data from Dublin to the attention of the Government of the Republic of Ireland.

CLG will be meeting the Salvation Army in September to discuss the Seeds of Exclusion 2009 report and closer working on homelessness. My officials will send a copy of the report to the Irish Government highlighting the references to homelessness in Dublin.
