Social Housing Bill [HL]Contribution
I recognise the concern that social landlords may seek to delay completion in order to avoid the property becoming eligible for right to buy. However, there always has to be a date on which new legislation comes into force. This measure will also come into force on Royal Assent, which will reduce the risk that landlords could seek to delay occupation.
