What steps is the Welsh Government taking to record and publish social housing allocations to people from overseas compared with people from Wales, given the absence of published data from Swansea Council?
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning | Answered on 09/10/2026
The Welsh Government does not collect or hold data on the nationality of people allocated social housing in Wales. Housing registers and social housing allocations are managed by individual local authorities, and the Welsh Government has no plans to introduce national data collection or publication requirements regarding nationality of households allocated accommodation.
