Remove all right to buy legislation (including voluntary RTB) from all Statutes

Closed 55 signatures

What the petition asks

We, the undersigned, believe that Social Housing has been and continues to be, damaged by Right to Buy legislation. We believe that this legislation must be removed from Statutory legislation.
Research has shown that a high percentage of Social Housing sold under Right to Buy legislation has created a sub market for private landlords which has forced up the cost of welfare rental payments to the detriment of all tax payers.
