Karl McCartney – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Karl McCartney on 2016-06-07.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will estimate the additional new housing required to address demand caused by immigration from (a) other EU member states and (b) non-EU member states in each year to 2030.

Brandon Lewis

The Department has not made an estimate of the additional new housing needed to provide accommodation for immigrants from EU and non-EU countries.

Housing needs are assessed by local authorities based on local need, and Government does not set figures.
