Asked by Peter FortuneConservativeMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 5 December 2024UIN 16896

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the adequacy of the accessibility of the consultation entitled Reforming the Right to Buy, published on 20 November 2024.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The Government published the ‘Reforming the Right to Buy’ consultation via www.gov.uk on 20 November 2024, and is content that it meets the expected accessibility standards to allow all interested parties to contribute their views. As prescribed in the Government’s Publishing Accessible Documents guidance, the consultation is published in HTML format to make it easier to read and to find.

It provides a variety of ways to respond to meet the range of accessibility needs; an online response option, a direct email address and a postal address for those unable to respond online. Anyone having any difficultly responding can get in touch using the contact details available to request assistance or an alternative way to respond.
