Every housing association property sold under the government鈥檚 right to buy scheme will be replaced one-for-one with a new property, Communities Secretary Greg Clark has said.

鈥淲hat is released in terms of sale can build an extra home 鈥� so it is adding to the housing stock,鈥� said Mr Clark.

Wednesday鈥檚 Queen's Speech will include a housing bill that will aim to deliver the Conservatives鈥� manifesto promise to extend right to buy to 1.3 million housing association tenants.

The original 1980s policy, extended in 2012 with bigger discounts, applies only to homes owned by local authorities.

"Just because you鈥檝e signed a social tenancy doesn鈥檛 mean you should be signing away your aspiration to own a home," said Mr Clark.
