Proceeding contribution from Kirsty Blackman (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 July 2018. It occurred during Estimates day on Treasury Spending: Grants to Devolved Institutions.
Treasury Spending: Grants to Devolved Institutions
The Labour party was in charge in Holyrood before and could have cancelled the right to buy then, but it sadly did not. Unfortunately, we are trying to undo the legacy of Margaret Thatcher, who put in place the right to buy. We are trying to undo the legacy of the decimation of our council housing stock. The reality is that we can only build houses so quickly, and we are doing our very best. I would like to see the Labour party do a better job, to be honest.
