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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will place in the Library all research on the effect of immigration on housing commissioned by his Department or produced internally since 2010.

My department has published research on the effects of immigration on housing in a number of reports and statistical releases. The recent Casey Review presents evidence on the role of housing in the integration of immigrant populations. The English Housing Survey contains evidence on what proportion of housing is occupied by non-UK nationals. The household projections contain evidence on what proportion of household growth is attributable to net migration. Statistics published by my department on social lettings provide detail on how many social rented properties are let to non-UK nationals.
