Conservatives Propose Ban on Foreign Nationals Accessing Social Housing

The Conservative Party has announced plans to prohibit foreign nationals from accessing social housing, stating that around 230,000 homes could become available as a result of this move. The proposal was revealed on Friday as part of the party's housing strategy.

The announcement has faced criticism from various quarters. A housing charity described the plan as 'divisive,' suggesting that it could lead to an increase in homelessness. Additionally, the Labour Party has characterized the proposal as 'unserious.'
