Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what estimate he has made of the number of illegal migrants living in council housing.

Illegal migrants are not eligible for an allocation of social housing and cannot be granted a social housing tenancy, therefore the department does not collect such data.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what data his Department holds on the number of people fined under section (a) 23(2) and (b) 25(4) of the Immigration Act 2014 for each year since the Act came into force.
Answered by Tom Pursglove - Minister of State (Minister for Legal Migration and Delivery)
The link to the transparency data can be found here, and covers the period 2016 to September 2023: Immigration Enforcement data: Q3 2023 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
Right to Work statistics can be found on tab CP02 and Right to Rent statistics can be found on tab CP03.
The data for 2023 only includes the published data covering the period January to September.
The information within the transparency data refers to the total numbers of entities who have received a civil penalty, rather than “the number of people fined”. For employment, this could mean a limited company, a sole trader, or a franchise. For renting, an entity could include a landlord or a letting agency.
It is possible that some entities have been fined on more than one occasion.
Data prior to 2016 does not exist in the same reportable format.
