245 _aRight to buy costs, says shelter

520 _aReport from Shelter argues that the Right to Buy is costing the taxpayer billions and increasing the misery of homelessness. Ben Jackson the director of Shelter says the whole scheme is a waste of money as the discounts given to tenants under the scheme over the last five years add up to nearly £4.5bn and this is more than the subsidy for affordable housing over the same period. The government is then having to spend billions on building new affordable homes to replace the ones sold under the scheme.
