HL Deb 08 December 2004 vol 667 cc38-9WA
Lord Lamont of Lerwick

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What are the latest projections for additional households each year in England; over what period forecasts have been made; and how this compares with the previous Projections of Households in England in 2021, published in 2000. [HL102]

The Minister of State, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (Lord Rooker)

The 2002-based interim household projections are the Government's latest projections and have updated the 1996-based household projections.

The 2002-based Interim Household Projections show that 189,000 additional households are projected to form annually between 2001 and 2021 in England. This projection assumes recent population trends continue and trends in household formation remain as estimated for the 1996-based household projections. They do not take account of future housing supply.

The 1996-based Household Projections showed that 150,000 dwellings were projected to form annually in the same time period.

Lord Lamont of Lerwick

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many additional households in England each year can be attributed to the projected levels of net international migration in current and previous projections. [HL104]

Lord Rooker

It is estimated that, in the 2002-based interim household projections for England, about 59,000 additional households per year are attributable to net international migration out of a total of 189,000 additional households per year between 2001 and 2021.

It was estimated that, in the 1996-based household projections for England, about 38,000 additional households per year would have been attributable to net international migration out of a total of 150,000 additional households per year between 2001 and 2021.
