Evidence (2019-01-18): Estimates from the Annual Population survey are used due to its sample being larger than the Family Resource Survey for Wales. In 2017, the private rented sector accounted for 13% of households in Wales, below the percentage for the UK (17%). While Wales has a slightly lower proportion of households in the social rented sector (15%) compared with the UK (17%), it has a higher proportion of owner-occupied households, 71% compared with 66% in the UK (42% in Wales and 35% in the UK were owned outright, while 29% in Wales and 31% in the UK were bought with a mortgage). The proportion of households in the private rented sector has increased from 9% (118,000 households) of households in 2007 to 13% (176,000 households) in 2017 (Figure 6). [...] Image .csv .xlsMost tenants in the private rented sector live in a tenement or flat (61%), similar to the social rented sector (57%). Fifty-eight per cent (unrounded figure) of owner-occupiers live in detached or semi-detached houses, with just over one-fifth (22%) in flat (Figure 44). [...] Two-thirds (66%) of private rented dwellings are in urban areas, slightly higher than the owner-occupied sector (60%), but lower than the social housing sector (84%).

Evidence (2023-10-31): Key findings 1. Facing higher housing costs, renters are considerably more likely than owner-occupiers to have low living standards on a variety of measures. Social and private renters have poverty rates of 46% and 34% respectively, compared with 12% for owner-occupiers. And they are also far more likely to be materially deprived or to live in food insecurity. [...] 4.3 How have changes to local housing allowance rates affected affordability of private rented accommodation for those on benefits? [...] This is especially important as privately rented homes are, on many dimensions, worse in quality than social rented or owner-occupied properties – for example, they are more likely to have dangerous hazards and be hard to heat. Moreover, the shift towards low-income households privately renting has raised the importance of housing benefit policy. The current policy of indefinitely freezing local housing allowance rates means that the support that poorer private renters can get to help with their rent falls over time – and all the more so when rents are rising quickly. Only about 5% of available properties are now affordable (able to be completely paid for by housing benefit) for those on housing benefit – down from more than 20% just three years ago. Those properties that are affordable are increasingly tilted towards energy-inefficient properties, raising their true cost (i.e. including energy bills).

Evidence (2022-08-02): The Private Rented Sector (PRS) has changed in recent decades. The sector has doubled in size and both landlords and tenants have become increasingly diverse. It is still an important home for young professionals and students seeking flexibility but increasing numbers of families and older renters now also look to the sector for a stable and secure home. There is also great variety in landlords. Some are large corporates with equally large portfolios. Others are individuals letting a property as an investment for the future. As the distribution of PRS properties across England varies, the sector can also look and feel different depending on location. The PRS must function well for all those who live and work within it.[footnote 31] [...] Annex A: Operation and Regulation of the Private Rented Sector [...] Private Rented Sector: Homes for rent that are owned and managed by private landlords.

Claim: Over a quarter of a million people migrate to the UK from the EU every year. (The Office for National Statistics (ONS), 2016-05-26)
Evidence (2016-05-26): The claim is true, but it doesn’t include the number of people migrating from the UK to the EU: net migration in 2015 was +184,000. There is no single source that tracks migration to Northern Ireland. Medical card registrations are one method. The 2011 Census showed that 2.16% of the Northern Ireland population held an EU/EEA passport.

Claim: Over a quarter of a million people migrate to the UK from the EU every year. (The Office for National Statistics (ONS), 2016-05-26)
Evidence (2024-06-19): Shortly before the 2016 referendum on EU membership, EU citizens made up the majority of all net migration to the UK (excluding British citizens). Depending on the data source used, EU citizens contributed between 59% and 77% of estimated net migration in the year ending March 2015. This high share was unusual by historical standards and partly resulted from temporary factors: Romanian and Bulgarian citizens receiving full access to the UK labour market in 2014 and migration from Southern European countries where youth unemployment was high due to the Eurozone crisis. [...] Estimates of EU citizen migration come from the RAPID tax and benefits database, which is not designed to measure migration flows. In the 2023 estimates, both immigration and emigration of EU citizens are relatively high at 126,000 and 202,000, respectively. The EU immigration estimate is much higher than the number of visas granted to EU citizens (52,500 in 2023, excluding visitors, transit and frontier workers who do not live in the UK). ONS analysis suggests that most of the EU citizens migrating to the UK during this period were not on visas but already held status under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS). Full data on the migration of people with EUSS status are not currently published.
Claim: Over a quarter of a million people migrate to the UK from the EU every year. (The Office for National Statistics (ONS), 2016-05-26)
Evidence (2024-08-15): In 2023, the vast majority of people who migrated to the UK (85%) were non-EU nationals. Ten percent were EU nationals, with the remaining 5% British nationals. The top-five non-EU countries of origin were India (250,000 migrants), Nigeria (141,000), China (90,000), Pakistan (83,000) and Zimbabwe (36,000). Between 2012 (when the current set of ONS migration statistics was first published) and 2018, net migration to the UK from the EU exceeded non-EU national net migration. However the number of EU immigrants has been falling since 2016, and net migration from the EU has actually been negative since 2021 (when free movement ended following Britain’s exit from the EU), meaning more EU nationals are leaving the UK than arriving. [...] The second most common reason for non-EU immigration was study, while 16% of EU nationals migrating to the UK did so to study. Around 8% of non-EU nationals arrived in the UK to seek asylum.
Claim: Over a quarter of a million people migrate to the UK from the EU every year. (The Office for National Statistics (ONS), 2016-05-26)
Evidence (2024-07-03): Migration in the UK- Statistics and Facts After World War Two, the British government encouraged immigration from the British Empire's colonies to the UK mainland to meet postwar labor demands. One of the most important groups, who migrated to the UK from the Caribbean between 1947 and 1971, became known as the 'Windrush Generation,' named after one of the first ships arriving in the UK. In more recent years, immigration from the European Union, particularly after the EU's 2004 enlargement, further added to the levels of immigration to the UK. The percentage of British people who saw immigration as an important issue facing the country also rose during this period, with a peak of 42 percent recorded in 2015.High levels of anxiety about immigration in 2015 were undoubtedly influenced by the European Migrant Crisis, which was at its height in that year. These concerns would also play an influential role in the Brexit referendum the following year, which saw the UK crash out of the European Union, with freedom of movement being one of the main casualties.

Evidence (2023-10-27): The New Statesman has used the latest data from Britain and the EU to map the movement of migrants using unofficial routes to enter the UK and other European countries. We will update our graphics as new data is published, and have included historical data, to provide a definitive representation of the numbers behind the headlines. [...] The first map in the New Statesman’s tracker shows the total number of people travelling into the EU and the UK via irregular migration routes. While the term "illegal immigration" is often used to refer to the unauthorised entry of people into countries, claiming asylum is not illegal so the New Statesman will use the term "irregular immigration" instead. [...] Government data shows that more than a million immigrants came to the UK with work, study or other official visas in the year ending June 2022, compared with the 45,000 who reached the UK via irregular means.
