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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many (a) households and (b) children were in temporary accommodation in December in (i) York, (ii) North Yorkshire and (iii) England in each year since 2010.

Time spent in temporary accommodation means people are getting the help they need and it ensures no family is without a roof over their head.

My Department publishes regular statistics on temporary accommodation. These are published at national, London and local authority level. The latest statistics can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/homelessness-statistics.
