Thousands of people earning as much as £100,000 a year
could qualify for six-figure discounts funded by the taxpayer under David
Cameron’s controversial new right to buy plans. Government data show that significant

Critics said the disclosure made a mockery of Mr Cameron’s vow to help
“working people” enjoy the dream of home ownership and one senior London Tory

that there are 21,000 households in social properties, including council and
housing association homes, who have incomes higher than £60,000. Read more on
