Is it enough to improve housing market in London?

The removal of about 500 people (not all of whom will leave London) and perhaps their families from a city of population about 9mm? I imagine not.

Not enough, but at least there is a start.

Around 4,000 move to London every week. 500 (not all/any of whom are leaving) is less than 1 days worth

Migrants to the UK have stayed the same if not increased. It's a misconception they've fallen after brexit.

See figure 5

India is the biggest source of our migrants, specially in London.

I'm pro-migration and immigration but the picture painted by our Government puts all the blame on immigrants fleeing war-torn countries.

Heck I met someone on the train who'd came in via Heathrow and he said the process of getting his visa in India was easier than its ever been for him.
