The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, for each of the past five years, what proportion of households refused a homelessness duty were (a) UK nationals, (b) EU nationals and (c) non‑EU nationals, and what proportion were refused due to immigration‑related ineligibility.

Answered by Alison McGovern

The government publishes quarterly data on the number of households refused a homelessness duty, which you can access in Table A1 of the quarterly and annual statutory homelessness data published on gov.uk here. This data does not include the reason why a household was refused a duty.
