Gavin Barwell has revealed a consultation will shortly
set out options for local authorities which must sell high value council house
sales in order to fund the Right to Buy policy for social housing tenants.

putting councils in “an impossible financial position” but said it was a
manifesto pledge. He did admit councils “won’t like it” when they see the
consultation but it was better than it could have been. Read more on 24housing.
