Right to Buy: Should council tenants get extra help to buy their own homes?

Is Right to Buy the right policy to boost the housing market and the economy? David Cameron wants to give council tenants extra help to buy their homes. Is it a good idea?

The Right To Buy: Should council tenants be given extra help to buy their council homes? The right to buy was one of Margaret Thatcher's most famous and popular policies. Now David Cameron's promising to increase the discounts for council tenants to buy their homes - to try to boost the housing market and social mobility. And to avoid depleting stocks, he's promised a new home will be built for every one sold. So is it the right way forward? Are there enough council homes up for grabs? Or will it reduce already limited supplies? Whether you're in a council house, on the waiting list or simply a council tax payer, we'd like to hear from you. Call You and Yours with Julian Worricker.
