Deidre Brock: To
ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how he intends
to prohibit (a) social housing providers and (b) housing associations from
accepting as residents citizens from other EU countries who do not meet the
criteria of a four-year residency before accessing social housing.
Brandon Lewis: The Government will introduce a new
residency requirement, so that EU migrants cannot be considered for social
housing unless they have been living here for at least four years; and made
clear that this would be taken forward as part of wider EU treaty negotiation
on welfare changes.
