<p>This Government is committed to the Right to Buy, which has helped nearly two million
council tenants to realise their dream of home ownership.</p><p>Housing associations
that took part in the Midlands pilot have 3 years to use the receipts from a sale
for replacement affordable housing. Replacement is therefore still ongoing. 1,839
homes were sold between 2019 and 2021 under the Midlands Voluntary Right to Buy pilot.
We are monitoring replacement of homes sold under the pilot, including through our
annually published data collection.</p><p>The Prime Minister announced on 9 June 2022,
the intention to extend the Right to Buy to housing association tenants, and that
homes sold under an extended Right to Buy scheme will be replaced one-for-one.</p><p>We
will be working closely with the housing association sector as we develop the scheme
and will announce more details in due course.</p>
