Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many households in temporary accommodation are housed by other London authorities in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.
Answered by Marcus Jones
This information is not held centrally.
The Department for Communities and Local Government collects quarterly data on temporary accommodation from all local authorities in England on the P1E form. Whilst this form collects data on the numbers of households that local authorities have provided with temporary accommodation in another district, it does not request details of which authorities they have been placed in.
