Lady Olga Maitland

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what information is available on the right-to-buy scheme in London. [23316]

Sir Paul Beresford

The right-to-buy performance of London authorities has been monitored by my Department for a number of years. Annual monitoring is carried out of each authority's performance at the end of September, with poor performers submitting additional reports on a monthly basis. Data from the latest survey are given in the table.
