Labour — Croydon East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 September 2026

Debate

Social Housing Bill [Lords]

Contribution

I want to clarify the point about people born in other countries and living here. If a person is born somewhere else, it does not mean that they are not a British citizen, or that their children were not born in this country. Being in social housing does not mean not being in work. Is the hon. Gentleman suggesting that, if someone becomes a British citizen after moving to this country, they should have a different tier of support in the system, even if they have paid into it?
