We have a housing crisis in this country. Housing is simply unaffordable for many, particularly so in London and the south-east. The reason is simple: housebuilding of all tenures has not kept pace with housing growth. Banning right to buy will not build one extra home; in fact, it will mean fewer homes overall. This gets to the heart of what we believe is the real issue: it is not only the failure to use the funding from right to buy to build replacement homes but the failure of successive Governments to build more homes in general.
