A million housing association tenants should be given the ‘right to buy’, according to leading backbench MPs David Davis and Frank Field. The think tank IPPR is publishing a paper by Davis and Field arguing for ‘Right to Buy 2.0’. In their paper, Davis and Field show that since the Government introduced ‘Right to Buy’ in 1980, much of the remaining council stock has been transferred to housing associations. They argue that a million tenants who live in housing association properties should be given the right to buy their homes, with all of the funds generated being reinvested in new social housing.
