It was an analysis by a "fiscal expert" on TV news. Possibly BBC, as that is the one we have on most of the time. Councils around the UK had been asked if they could absorb extra pupils from private schools in their areas, and most said things like "our schools are at maximum capacity / brimful / unable to budget for any increase in numbers".
He also highlighted the severe problems on the same sort of problem with housing. Someone loses their home, the council is obliged to house them if they are unable to buy or rent themselves. To this end, councils are buying hotels, private flat complexes, and even whole student accommodation complexes to house the homeless. For example, here in Cardiff:
"The council is close to acquiring a student accommodation building of 103 apartments, a hotel providing more than 150 units, and a 20-bed house of multiple occupation."
