Chi Onwurah:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will
make it his policy to ensure that local authorities that sell council houses
use receipts to build replacement stock.
Gavin Barwell:
Local authorities should manage their stock efficiently, including reinvesting
sales receipts in new housing. Where our policies directly
relate to local authorities selling council housing, we think it is important
that receipts are used to deliver replacement homes. For example, under the
reinvigorated Right to Buy, we are committed to ensuring that for every
additional home sold an additional one will be provided nationally.
