Communities and Local Government Minister Marcus Jones assures MPs that the government will fund Bob Blackman's bill.
He says the government is supporting the largest house-building programme since the 1980s.
He adds that they are also launching a £50m homelessness prevention programme.

Debate moves to the devolution of powers over ports.
Plaid Cymru's Lord Wigley welcomes more powers but is concerned that the UK government is reserving the option of stationing nuclear-armed Trident submarines in Welsh ports.
"Devolved or reserved, Trident is not welcome in Wales," he says.
Scotland is currently home to the UK's Trident submarines, which are stationed at the Faslane naval base on the Clyde.

Shadow housing minister Andrew Slaughter begins by stating that nothing that had been said in the debate detracts from the stark statistics on government's record on homelessness.
He tells MPs that since 2012, homelessness has increased by 44%.
He welcomes Bob Blackman's bill, but seeks assurances that the government will "honour" its commitment to "fully fund" the measures.
If they do not, it will not work and local authorities will carry the can for government mistakes, he warns.

Replying for the government, Lord Bourne says he will write to peers to reassure them over the protocol for UK and Welsh ministers' relationship over water services.
He promises "some sort of timetable over how the protocol will proceed and what the protocol will cover".
Pressed by crossbencher Lord Elystan-Morgan, he says he should have more information by the bill's third reading, due early next year.

Labour Wales spokeswoman Baroness Morgan of Ely tables amendments to "require the secretary of states to consult with Welsh ministers before giving directions to Ofwat, the water regulator".
She calls for assurances that the UK government is not "imposing competition on Wales when we don't want it".
Wales Bill

Plaid Cyrmu's Lord Wigley criticises the government's proposal for a "protocol" between UK and Welsh ministers on water services, claiming Parliament has not even seen a draft of the plans.
He suggests peers are being "asked to rubber stamp a pig in a poke", stretching the metaphor further by asking: "This undefined poke of a protocol, what kind of a pig do we have inside?"
The former Plaid Cymru leader thinks the measures are "a charter for the meddling of English ministers and English authorities".
His amendments and his rejection of a request, as he sees it, "to buy a pig of a dubious quality in the non-existent poke" gets the backing of Labour peer Lord Morgan and crossbencher Lord Elystan-Morgan.

SNP MP Ronnie Cowan says that homelessness is being "increasingly stigmatised" and that rough sleepers face "ever more hostile streets".
He adds that councils, developers and businesses are deploying defensive iron concrete studs to prevent people from finding a place to sleep.
A compassionate society should not be employing "medieval style defences" against vulnerable people, he argues.

Conservative Bob Blackman tells MPs that one of the challenges for people at risk of becoming homeless is finding a deposit.
He proposes a national deposit scheme so people do not have to rely on local authorities.
Earlier this month Bob Blackman introduced his Homelessness Reduction Bill which places a duty on councils to prevent homelessness. The bill has government support.
Wales Bill
House of Lords
Parliament
Peers now move on to amendments concerning the devolution of powers over water and sewage services, as recommended by the Silk Commission.
Wales Office Minister Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth says that, far from being a simple matter, devolution in this area involves "the unpicking" of considerable amounts of existing legislation.
Lord Bourne says intervention powers for the UK government will be repealed, to be replaced by arrangements between the UK environment secretary and Welsh ministers to secure water supplies on both sides of the Wales and England border.
He claims that the new arrangements show two "mature institutions working together".
The House of Lords is debating the Wales Bill. Again. And the Wales Office has changed its logo.

Paula Sherriff focuses her comments on female homelessness and praises the "homeless period" programme which collects donations of sanitary products.
She tells MPs that housing shelters provide condoms, but not tampons or sanitary towels.
She says the "affront to human dignity" that is homelessness is "multiplied" if you do not have access to basic hygiene products.

The Wales Bill seeks to implement those elements of the St David’s Day agreement that require legislative change and to introduce a clearer and more durable devolution settlement in Wales.
The bill would replace the current conferred powers model used by the National Assembly for Wales with a reserved powers model.
A full analysis of the provisions in the bill and background information can be found in the House of Lords Library note on the legislation, external.

Derek Thomas' constituency of St Ives may be "an attractive holiday destination" but he tells MPs that the area still experiences a problem with homelessness.
Mr Thomas says that the rough sleepers in St Ives come from different backgrounds including an ex-fisherman who "couldn't settle" to a new way of live.
He also says many successful people come to Cornwall looking for a new way of life but sometimes "it doesn't go right".

Plaid Cymru peer Lord Wigley moves his amendment in this group.
He says that despite the complexities of "our haphazard, patchwork quilt" of a constitution, his point is "quite simple" - to make the assembly the authority "that it should be" when it comes to devolved maters.

Cuts to social security benefits are driving homelessness, Labour's Karen Buck tells MPs.
She explains that this has led to landlords withdrawing from the market of letting to people on low incomes.
She says that 81% of landlords are unwilling to consider people on housing benefit because of "the threat of universal credit".
