Unfortunately, these figures (which in any case will likely have increased in the last four years due to the continuing large influx of immigrants) bring us no closer to establishing the actual percentage of foreign tenants. A meaningful discussion would only be possible if Lewisham Council kept proper records of nationality. The fact that they don't raises suspicion that they are concealing the extent of the problem.

We can argue about percentages, but whether it's 20, 30 or 40, it is wrong for foreigners to be taking precedence over British people in social housing allocation. Or perhaps you can provide a justification?
