Conservative plan to evict foreign nationals from social housing
Gone quiet since
Where it stands
The Conservatives say they would evict about 230,000 foreign-national households from social housing in England if they return to power, and claim this would free around 230,000 homes for British families. Sky News is testing that claim against housing and waiting-list figures; the proposal’s fate remains open as of 2026-08-07.
