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

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many people made homeless after the fire at Grenfell Tower are still living (1) in hotels, (2) in other forms of temporary accommodation, and (3) with relatives.

As of 31 January 2019, the latest figures from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea show that a total of 8 households from Grenfell Tower and Walk remain in emergency accommodation out of the 202 households that required rehousing

The 8 households currently in emergency accommodation include: 3 households living in hotels, 4 households living in serviced apartments and 1 household who is living with friends and family

As of 31 January 2019, a total of 17 households from Grenfell Tower and Walk are currently in high - quality temporary accommodation; with a total of 177 households from Grenfell Tower and Walk having now moved into permanent accommodation

We expect the Council to do whatever is necessary to ensure households can move into permanent homes as swiftly as possible, but to do so sensitively and taking into account individual needs, and are continuing to work closely with the Council to ensure this occurs without unnecessary delay.
