I was wondering if you ever got a response from the DHSC yesterday as to why the previous government claimed settling the junior doctors' dispute would cost 1.7billion?

The real challenge we've got at the moment is the 2012 changes to right to buy [the discount was increased] meant that we can't replace the stock, because the taxpayers are funding us creating social homes and then we're not able to replace them once they are sold off at a highly discounted rate.

We think right to buy is something people should have, if you've raised your family in your home, you've been in it a long time, then this should be a way for you to buy it. But we don't think the current situation is tenable when we want to build more social housing.
