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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made on the amount spent by each local authority on temporary accommodation in each of the last five years.

The Department publishes data on local authority revenue expenditure and financing. Data is provided to the Department by local authorities, and this collection brings together all documents relating to local authority revenue expenditure and financing. The collection of data can be found here:

Between 2012/13 and 2016/17 the Revenue Outturn Housing Services (RO4) tables provide information on temporary accommodation income and expenditure for each local authority in England. Figures for each authority can be obtained using a tool built in to each RO4 table.
