Clark further elaborated on his meeting with Will.

"We had 20 minutes of conservation time and he recognized that it was a public health emergency for people on the streets and in shelters," Clark said.

"So it was good to be able to let him know that not only the voluntary sector, but everyone in local and central government is doing everything they can to try to get people off the streets and into safety."
