Migrants Given One in Ten Council Homes

Around one in ten local authority homes were let last year to foreign tenants, figures show. The proportion has soared since David Cameron entered Downing Street. Last year, 9 per cent of social housing properties which were let out were occupied by foreign tenants – up from 6 per cent in the final year of the last Labour government.  The statistics, released by the CLG, show that this proportion of lettings is the highest in England since at least 2006/7.  The figures also show that the number of homes let out to Eastern Europeans had doubled since the Coalition was formed in 2010 to 4 per cent.
