The below Parliamentary question was asked by Anne-Marie Trevelyan on 2016-04-08.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 24 March 2016 to Question 31038 on social rented housing: EU nationals, if he will publish the data that is available on the nationality of households and persons on social housing waiting lists.

The Department’s annual Local Authority’s Housing Statistics provide information on the total households on local authority waiting lists in England but do not record nationality. The Department’s English Housing Survey does ask whether respondents are on a waiting list and also records nationality. The sample size, however, is not sufficient to provide a robust estimate by nationality.
