Evictions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what information her Department holds on the number of people who were evicted from their properties in each year since 2015.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
The Ministry of Justice publishes quarterly data on possession claim actions in the county court. It can be found on gov.uk here.
The data includes the volumes of repossessions carried out by county court bailiffs in mortgage and landlord possession cases. It does not include cases where a tenant has left their property voluntarily following a notice for eviction.
