The commitment to build a replacement for every social
rented home sold through the Right to Buy scheme is not being fulfilled in
London, just as across the country. In 13 boroughs there have been exactly no
replacement homes built for the 2,877 social rented homes sold. since the
commitment was made 26,184 social rented homes have been sold through Right to
