Right to Buy Scheme: Housing Associations

(asked on 2nd December 2016) - View Source

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

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth on 28 November (HL3302), what discussions they are having with local authorities as the funders of the Right to Buy scheme.


This question was answered on 12th December 2016

At Autumn Statement 2016, the Chancellor announced a large-scale regional pilot of the voluntary Right to Buy, which will be funded by the government.

In terms of the main scheme, we have engaged closely with local authorities in the development of how we fund the extension of Right to Buy to housing association tenants. We are considering how the policy will be implemented under the Housing and Planning Act 2016 and will continue to engage with local authorities and other stakeholders as we develop the detail.
