Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 December 2024

Debate

Housing (Right to Buy) (Limits on Discount) (England) Order 2024

Contribution

The noble Lord, Lord Porter, referred to the flexibility in using receipts. I am pleased that we are allowing councils to keep 100% of the receipts generated by right-to-buy sales. That has totalled around £183 million a year. Coupled with the increased flexibilities in how councils can use receipts, announced in July, this will help accelerate and increase the delivery of replacement homes.
