Around £190m earmarked for the “ludicrous housing
association right-to-buy lottery” should be diverted into funding an emergency
winter programme to prevent further homeless deaths, the Commons heard.

association right-to-buy was “always a daft idea”. During a debate on the

the “ludicrous housing association right-to-buy lottery”. The remaining £190m
should, he said, be diverted to an emergency winter programme to “spare us a
spate of people freezing to death on the streets.” Read more on 24housing.
