Right to Buy Scheme: Lancashire

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many house sales were made by people that used the Right to Buy scheme in Lancashire since the scheme was introduced.

Answer

The Department publishes the number of Right to Buy Sales by local authority area from 1979-80, when the scheme began, to 2017-18 in Live Table 685, which can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-social-housing-sales.

Information on Right to Buy sales in the three quarters of 2018-19 are published in Live Table 691 at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-social-housing-sales. Please note these figures are only provisional.

Note that 2017-18 sales figures in Live Table 685 and 691 do not match. This is because Live Table 691 is revised quarterly while 685 is done annually. It is therefore advised to use the figures in 691
