Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, pursuant to the Answer of 16 June 2022 to Question 16928 on Right to Buy Scheme, what assessment he has made of the potential effectiveness of the extension of the Right to Buy scheme to housing associations in the context of the funding arrangements intended for that scheme; and when he plans to publish the full details of the scheme.

The Right to Buy has helped nearly two million council tenants to become homeowners since 1980, and we want to give housing association tenants the same opportunity. We want the scheme to work effectively for tenants and housing associations, and we will be working closely with the housing association sector as we develop the scheme.

The scheme will be funded from within the overall envelope of Government spending. We will announce further details in due course.
