Greg Clark: Housing associations are voluntary
organisations and we are committed to reflecting their historic voluntary ethos
and strongly believe they should continue to be independent of government. That belief is reflected in our decision to
extend Right to Buy to housing association tenants by accepting a voluntary
offer from the sector rather than implementing the policy through legislation.
As set out in our agreement with the housing association sector on Right to
Buy, the Government is committed to developing deregulatory measures to help
housing associations build more homes and help more people into home ownership.
I now intend to bring forward a package of deregulatory measures that will deliver
this commitment while also aiming to return housing associations to the private
sector in the future. Read the full statement on the Parliament website.
