Written Question
Housing: Immigrants
Monday 13th June 2016

Asked by: Karl McCartney (Conservative - Lincoln)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will estimate the additional new housing required to address demand caused by immigration from (a) other EU member states and (b) non-EU member states in each year to 2030.

Answered by Brandon Lewis

The Department has not made an estimate of the additional new housing needed to provide accommodation for immigrants from EU and non-EU countries.

Housing needs are assessed by local authorities based on local need, and Government does not set figures.
