Right to Buy

HC Deb 28 April 1993 vol 223 c421W

16. Mr. Gallie

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the number of houses sold under the right-to-buy scheme.

Sir George Young

Since its introduction in 1980, almost 1.5 million tenants in Great Britain have bought their homes under the right to buy. This amply demonstrates the popularity and success of the policy.
