Tom Blenkinsop: To
ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, whether his Department plans to make the level of discount received
for tenants who exercise the Right to Acquire the same as for those who
exercise the Right to Buy.
Brandon Lewis: The Government has a manifesto commitment
to extend the Right to Buy to housing association tenants. The voluntary agreement we have made
with the National Housing Federation will give 1.3 million housing association
tenants the opportunity to buy their home with an equivalent discount to the
Right to Buy, delivering the manifesto commitment. This will include those
tenants who currently have a Right to Acquire.
