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. Read more on the Daily Mail website.
