Housing: New Housebuilding
Debate between Baroness Hanham and Lord Swinfen
Baroness Hanham
My Lords, the regulations related to the right to buy are as they are at the present time. I do not believe that they have changed and therefore the noble Lord will know how they apply and that they are going to carry on as before.
Lord Swinfen
My Lords, my noble friend mentioned affordable homes in her first Answer. What is the Government’s definition of an affordable home?
Baroness Hanham
My Lords, an affordable home is one that in previous circumstances my noble friend might have known as social housing. It is provided by social landlords in the form of local councils or housing associations.
