Claims that immigrants are given priority access to social housing have been dismissed as a myth by the equalities watchdog.

A study for the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) found that only 1.8% of social tenants had moved to the UK within the past five years.

Some 87.8% were UK-born and 10% foreigners who had been living in Britain for more than five years.
