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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what percentage of Grenfell Tower residents who have accepted publicly funded accommodation, are in (1) temporary, and (2) permanent accommodation; and of those, what percentage live in the borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

The latest data from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) shows that, as of 18th June, 52 households from Grenfell Tower and Grenfell Walk are living in temporary accommodation, which represents 26 per cent of the total number of households from Grenfell Tower and Walk who have accepted either temporary or permanent accommodation. Of this number, 36 households are living within RBKC, which represents 69 per cent of those living in temporary accommodation.

83 households are living in permanent accommodation, which represents 42 per cent of the total number of households from Grenfell Tower and Walk who have accepted either temporary or permanent accommodation. Of this number, 71 households are living within RBKC, which represents 86 per cent of those living in permanent accommodation.

All residents have been housed in temporary accommodation locally if that is their preference, and in acquiring permanent properties, the Council focussed on identifying local properties so that survivors can remain in the area over the long-term if that is what they wish.
