HC Deb 08 February 2000 vol 344 c102W
Mr. Lilley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what assumption about the number of asylum seekers staying in the United Kingdom is incorporated in the forecast of housing demand up to 2021 used by his Department. [109027]

Mr. Raynsford

Information on net levels of international migration assumed in the latest household projections can be found in Annexe C of the Department's publication "Projections of Households in England to 2021", a copy of which is in the Library of the House. This Annexe summarises the assumptions contained in the 1996-based national population projections which are published in "National Population projections: 1996-based" Office for National Statistics series PP2 No. 21.
