Evictions: Barking
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many households in Barking constituency have faced eviction proceedings since April 2019.
Answered by Heidi Alexander
The Ministry of Justice only holds data on possession proceedings issued at court. We do not hold data on all eviction proceedings, such as those where a tenant leaves the property voluntarily following receipt of a notice.
Statistics on the number of possession claims are published here: Mortgage and landlord possession statistics: April to June 2024 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). Data is published covering the period to June 2024.
The Ministry of Justice does not publish statistics by constituency area. They are published by Local Authority areas. For the period that we have published data, the Local Authority that covers the Barking constituency is the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.
