The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how much was raised in right to buy receipts in each year since 2011-12; and what proportion of those receipts was spent on affordable housing.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

Receipts from Right to Buy (or equivalent) sales of local authority stock for the financial year 2012-13 onwards are published in the attached Table. There are no published figures for earlier years.

With regard to the proportion of such receipts spent on affordable housing, I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to Question UIN 16195 on 5 December 2024.
