HC Deb 22 January 2002 vol 378 cc844-5W
Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what right to buy would be enjoyed by a serving Metropolitan police officer with a secure tenancy of a police house since July 2000, with non-secure tenancies from 1995 to 2000 and with a wife who was previously a long-term local authority secure tenant.

Mr. Denham

Those Metropolitan police service tenants who became secure tenants as a result of the changes to the Housing Act 1985 made in the Greater London Authority Act 1999, would not normally be eligible for a right to buy until July 2002.

From the details provided, it is not possible to establish precisely the impact of a spouse who was previously a long-term local authority secure tenant.
