The Government is committed to enabling social tenants to achieve their aspiration for home ownership where this is the right option for them.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are also committed to ensuring that affordable rented housing is available to those who need it most.<\/p>
<\/p>
Over £600 million has been generated from additional Right to Buy sales since the policy was reinvigorated, and this is being recycled directly into providing new affordable homes for rent.<\/p>
Since April 2010, this Government has delivered 217,000 affordable homes, and council housebuilding is at its highest rate for 23 years.<\/p>"}
