Commenting on today’s data published by the Department for Communities and Local Government on the allocation of social housing, Frank Field MP and Sir Nicholas Soames MP, Co-Chairmen of the Cross-Party Group on Balanced Migration, said:

 

‘The proportion of social housing going to non-British nationals continues to increase. This nationwide figure of one in ten disguises local variations where the impact has been much higher. A stronger priority for social housing should be given to long-standing local residents.’
