Gareth Thomas: To
ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will
exempt housing co-operatives from the right to buy scheme; and if he will make
a statement.
Brandon Lewis: Under the voluntary agreement with the
National Housing Federation, there will be a presumption that housing
associations will sell tenants the property in which they live, but there will
be some broad circumstances where a housing association can exercise discretion
to decline a sale. These circumstances include properties held by co-operative
housing associations.
