Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what research, if any, they have commissioned into the effect of immigration on housing demand.
The Department has not directly commissioned research into the effect of immigration on housing demand. However, on 2 July 2018, the Secretary of State wrote to Professor Alan Manning, the Chair of the Migration Advisory Committee, encouraging the Committee to take account of the effects of immigration on the housing market in their analysis.
