To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government in which housing authorities local authority lettings have been made to households from the EU accession states since May 2004; and if she will break down by local authority the number of households which have been identified as being owed a main homeless duty. (100488)

Tables showing the number of local authority lettings made to households from the EU accession states, and the number of households from those states who have been accepted as being owed a main homelessness duty, as reported by each local housing authority in England since May 2004, have been placed in the Library. These figures will include households who have been resident in the UK since before May 2004. Overall, between May 2004 and June 2006 the number of lettings to applicants from the accession states was 0.04 per cent. of total local authority lettings, and the number of homeless acceptances was 0.2 per cent. of total acceptances.
