Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how many veterans are on local councils’ council house waiting lists.
On 31 March 2021, in England, there were 2,665 households on local authority social housing waiting lists given additional preference that contained members of the UK Armed Forces community. This value only includes households with urgent housing need. We do not have data on the total number of veterans on waiting lists.
