Shelter Scotland responds to Scottish Government announcement that Right to Buy reforms will be made law

10 December 2010

Shelter Scotland today responded to the Scottish Government's announcement that Right to Buy reforms will be made law.

Graeme Brown, director of Shelter Scotland, the housing and homelessness charity, says:

“Shelter Scotland welcomes the fact that the Right-to-Buy for new council house and housing association tenants has been scrapped.

“The new law will also prevent the sell-off of all new social homes - an overdue provision which helps secure Scotland’s housing stock for the future.”
