Housing and Planning Bill

Proceeding contribution from Karen Buck (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 May 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Housing and Planning Bill.

Does my right hon. Friend also recognise that there is a phenomenon known as “right to buy to let”, which has seen, for example, ex-council flats on the Amberley estate in my constituency, which would have

been rented for £140 a week under the council, now being rented for £690 a week? In some cases, they are used to place homeless families in temporary accommodation. Is that not a phenomenal waste of resources?
