Right to Buy Scheme: Cooperatives and Housing Associations
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to introduce a community right to buy for (a) social landlords and (b) community-led housing organisations.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
Through the English Devolution Bill, we will introduce a ‘right to buy’ to empower local people to bring community assets, such as shops, pubs and community centres, into community ownership. There are no plans for this to apply to social or community-led housing.
