Alan Brown: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities
and Local Government, if he will take steps to ensure that a home is built to
replace every house sold through the Right to Buy scheme.
Brandon Lewis: Under the reinvigorated Right to Buy we
are firmly committed to making sure that for every additional home sold an
additional one will be provided. There is a rolling 3 year deadline for local
authorities to deliver additional affordable homes through new build or
acquisition under the reinvigorated Right to Buy, and so far they have
delivered well within sales profile. By March 2013 after the first year of
reinvigoration there had been 3,054 additional sales and by December 2015 there
had been 4,594 starts and acquisitions, meaning councils are delivering within
this 3 year profile.
