Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many households were registered as statutorily overcrowded in (a) Camberwell and Peckham, (b) Southwark and (c) London in each of the last 5 years.

The Department does not collect information on the number of households registered as statutorily overcrowded. However, we do collect information on overcrowding more generally. The Department's English Housing Survey collects information on overcrowding (measured using the Bedroom Standard). Statistics for England are published annually.

See Annex Table 1.20 here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/676433/2016-17_Section_1_Households_Annex_Tables.xlsx

The Department's Local Authority Housing Statistics collects information on the number of households on a local authority housing waiting list because they are currently residing in insanitary or overcrowded housing, see here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/local-authority-housing-statistics-data-returns-for-2016-to-2017
