The Welsh Government: Article link
Proposed legislation to abolish the Right to Buy and associated rights is expected to be introduced in the National Assembly for Wales today (13th March).
The Bill will provide for the Right to Buy, the Preserved Right to Buy and the Right to Acquire for tenants of local authorities and registered social landlords to be abolished after a period of at least one year following Royal Assent.
In introducing the Bill, the Welsh Government aims to protect the Welsh stock of social housing from further reduction.
To encourage the development of new social housing, the Bill, if passed by the Assembly, will provide that the Right to Buy and Right to Acquire will end for new homes two months after Royal Assent.
