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

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many new households they estimate will be created in 2016–17, 2017–18, 2018–19, and 2019–20; of those in each year, how many will require public housing support; and of the total new households created in all four years that require public housing support, how many will comprise persons other than UK citizens.

The latest household projections for the United Kingdom estimate household growth from 2016 to 2017 at 261,000 households; from 2017 to 2018 at 260,000 households; from 2018 to 2019 at 259,000 households; and from 2019 to 2020 at 256,000 households. The household projections are (attached) published at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-household-projections. DCLG is responsible for producing the portion of these projections which cover England.

DCLG does not publish estimates of the number of households that are expected to need public housing support in future; nor the proportion of these that are UK citizens.
