This is true up to a point, as they are given private rented accommodation at public expense while their cases are decided.<br />“Astonishingly, over the past ten years the Government has granted more asylum seekers permission to stay in Britain than they have actually built social housing for. So, inevitably, the waiting lists have got ever longer.<br /><br />“So who on these bulging lists actually gets a council house? Currently, it is decided on the basis of ‘need’ which, in turn, is heavily influenced by family size.<br />“And once granted residence, a migrant or an asylum seeker can bring over his entire family and thereby move up the priority list.”<br /><br />“They found that the Whitehall concept of ‘need’ had, in practice, favoured Bangladeshi workers who were beginning to bring over their families.<br /><br />“Young British workers with smaller families were pushed out to Essex, away from their roots and away from their parents, who stayed put in their council houses in East London.<br /><br />“The outcome was that family and social bonding between Bangladeshi families was strengthened - while the traditional working-class family structure of the British workers, especially the role of grandmothers, was severely weakened. The researchers found that the white working class were seething with resentment.<br /><br />“The Government rushed to assure their supporters that there was no truth in any of this, insisting that it was all down to scare tactics.<br /><br />“A report was subsequently commissioned by the then Commission for Racial Equality which conveniently concluded that there was no evidence that newly arrived migrants were being allocated housing in preference to UK-born people. But that was to dodge the real issue.<br /><br />“The rules for allocating social housing might have been administered scrupulously. But it was the system itself that was unfair. Little or no credit was given for the length of time people had been waiting for housing, nor for the strength of their ties to the locality.<br /><br />“As a result, white working-class people were indeed being leapfrogged by new arrivals with large families. Only now have the Government been forced into long-overdue action because their own supporters are deserting them in droves,” he said.<br /><br />Sir Green went on to say that it was not just social housing that has been coming under such pressure because of immigration.<br /><br />“All housing has been affected - yet the Government refuse to acknowledge this, let alone discuss it,” he continued.<br /><br />“This figure comes from the Government predictions of new households which are issued every two years. The latest set shows that 252,000 households will be formed every year until 2031.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
