Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what proportion of social housing was occupied by people born overseas in each of the last five years.

Housing is a devolved matter, with each of the four nations of the UK developing their own policies and data collections to monitor the impact of them.

The English Housing Survey published by my Department, which can be found on gov.uk here, shows that households living in social housing in England with a non-UK national lead tenant comprised:

• 10.6% of all households living in social housing in England in 2023/24
• 10.0% of all households living in social housing in England in 2022/23
• 8.4% of all households living in social housing in England in 2021/22
• 7.0% of all households living in social housing in England in 2020/21
• 8.4% of all households living in social housing in England in 2019/20.

It is important to note that such households can contain UK nationals as well as non-UK national lead tenants.
