Tulip Siddiq: To ask the Secretary of State for
Communities and Local Government, whether the Government plans to compel the housing associations who
voted against an extension of the Right to Buy discount in the National Housing
Federation ballot on 2 October 2015 to comply with that policy.
Brandon Lewis: We are pleased to see that 93% of the
total housing association stock is covered by those associations who said yes to the offer. We would
like as many associations as possible to sign up to the deal - so that their
tenants can access the same home ownership opportunities as other tenants - and
the opportunity is still there for them to do so. The Housing and Planning Bill
will also introduce a clause where the Regulator will have the power to monitor
and report on how private registered providers are supporting their tenants
into home ownership.
