There is legislation promised which will allow young couples to purchase their homes which are owned by local authorities. We have been promised this Bill for a long time.

The heads of that Bill were cleared in December and it will be published in this session. We have seen incidents of this before, where young couples were able to purchase their homes that originally belonged to councils.
