Nearly 100,000 new homes must be built every year for immigrants

Nearly 100,000 new homes must be built every year just to provide housing for immigrants, ministers disclosed yesterday. Four out of every ten new houses or flats built to cope with the rising population will go to a migrant, they said.

The housing projections from the Commu nities Department say that at current birth rates and expected rates of immigration, 252,000 new homes a year will be needed each year until 2031.

That's a lot of demand. High demand = rising prices! Good luck everyone:)

Who says they'll want to buy? Many will be wanting social housing provision.

Many will be unable to get mortgages in this country

The immigrants will live in our homes and do chores and odd jobs.

Typical of the DM to focus on the immigration issue... Anyway most legal immigrants come to the UK to work and contribute to the society, not to claim benefits. Plus, new homes being built seems good news for the construction industry and will provide more jobs, whch will be good for the economoy.

The entire housing policy in this country is shocking. The social housing don't even do checks who goes into these houses. Some from criminal backgrounds get placed in nice new homes whilst others like those elderly, disabled or single mums that really struggle to make ends meet get put into the lowest grade council estates. It seems to be first come first served. Now the government are going to be saying lets put immigrants into brand new homes.

Yes most immigrants do come to this country and make a living but I suspect they realize they get better 'benefits' in the UK than in their home country.
I take the view that we shouldn't stop immigrants but we should tighten up on the benefits system.

That's a lot of homes, before you consider whats needed by UK residents....

I would like to see a period of say, 5 years when a visitor to this country has to wait before arriving here and being eligable for any benefits, housing etc, and this period gets continually reset if they commit any offenses. That would I suspect deter most of the people who move here purely on the grounds of benefits/housing etc. This would also not deter those who come in and support themselves from day one....

the article doesn't mention income of the immigrants.

saying that "many will be wanting social income provision" is like saying that all immigrants don't contribute very much to the UK. not exactly a correct racial stereotype.

as for this moronic statement... the less said the better

They will be living up to 16 in a flat, 1 house made into at least 3 flats. Its still a better life than where they came from.

Make it two million more homes a year. Cameron and his liberal jackals seem hellbent on opening the doors to millions more 'sweatshop wage' people from various parts of Asia. They will 'enrich the economy' - no doubt by undercutting British workers' pay packets - and claim the difference on tax credits and child benefit for their multitudes of children.

I don't think we will need houses being built at that rate. Tier 1 and 2 visas already have interim caps, with the full caps to follow. Announcement soon about caps on family visas; caps on tier 4 and 5 visas to follow. Fixed retirement age axed in 2011.

When Blair moaned to Chirac about immigrants camping in Calais trying to get in to Britian, Chirac told Blair to stop doing what was making Britain so attractive to immigrants. I think this government might just do that as they will be reducing the welfare bill.

Cameron has already said he is committed to reducing immigrant numbers back to the 90s where we had tens of thousands every year instead of the hundreds or thousands we have now. When you look at the tier 1 highly skilled migrant 'pool' he is proposing, instead of the "anyone with a masters can come in, regardless of how useless your degree is to employers" Blair brought in, Cameron seems to want to get back to moving the country in the right direction by selecting the right type of immigrant, to help make the economy grow. He is also taking big steps to increase tier 1 inverstors and tier 1 entrepreneurs to the country.
