S6M-15898: Elena Whitham: No Rollback on Housing Rights —That the Parliament celebrates that Scotland has, it believes, the world’s strongest legal rights to safe, suitable housing and to housing support, including for people in the Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley constituency; notes the opposition to any steps that would reduce or suspend rights in law for people who are homeless, related to priority need, local connection or unsuitable accommodation; expresses concern at reports that, across Scotland in 2023-24, the duty to offer temporary accommodation was breached 7,915 times and the unsuitable accommodation order was breached 7,400 times; notes the letter from the Everyone Home collective, a group of almost 40 organisations working to end homelessness, to the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, and the view that being able to exercise rights in full must be a key measure of Scotland’s rights-based approach and the next phase of fixing the housing emergency; understands that members of All in for Change, with personal experience of homelessness, are clear that these rights make a difference on the ground; recognises the inclusion of what it sees as potentially world-leading prevention of homelessness duties in the Housing (Scotland) Bill; notes the calls for the Scottish Government to publicly commit to no rollback on rights in law for people who are homeless, and further notes the calls for the Scottish Government and local authorities to work together to ensure that statutory housing duties are consistently fulfilled.

A Model for Scotland, the Campaign for Prostitution Law Reform in Scotland: The Parliament debated S6M-01612 in the name of Elena Whitham—That the Parliament welcomes the launch by an alliance of frontline agencies of the campaign, A Model for Scotland, which looks for prostitution law reform in Scotland; believes that, although it has been officially recognised as a form of violence against women, it is currently legal to perpetrate and profit from prostitution; understands that 4% of men in Scotland reported having paid for sex in the past five years; notes that the women who are sexually exploited can face criminal sanctions for soliciting under Section 46 of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982, making it harder for them to leave the sex trade and access support; commends the joint work of the Scottish Government and COSLA in developing Equally Safe: Scotland's strategy to eradicate violence against women; notes the commitment to develop a model for Scotland, including in Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley, which challenges men’s demand for prostitution and supports women to exit sexual exploitation, but further notes the view that there is a large body of work still to be carried out to ensure that the burden of criminality shifts from the victims of sexual exploitation to those who perpetrate and profit from this abuse.
