Council Housing: Waiting Lists
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what proportion of households on local authority housing waiting lists include at least one non-UK national.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
Information on the nationality of all members of a household currently on local authority social housing waiting lists is not collected centrally. As such, it is not possible to determine the proportion of households on local authority social housing waiting lists containing at least one non-UK national.
Limited information on the nationality of lead tenants is collected on a voluntary basis and is presented and contextualised for data quality in Section 6.7 of the Social housing lettings in England, tenants: April 2024 to March 2025 statistical publication, which can be found on gov.uk here.
