Emma Reynolds MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, responding to Greg Clark’s interview on the Today programme about the Tories' proposals on Right to Buy, said:

“We support people’s aspiration to buy their own home but the Tories’ numbers don’t add up.

“Ministers have not set out how this policy will be paid for, and housing experts have said that the plan is unworkable, unfunded and will lead to fewer affordable homes.

“Greg Clark said today that every home will be replaced but it was he clear he didn’t even know his own policy when he said there was no requirement to replace homes under the existing policy.
 
“The Government made the same commitment in the last Parliament - and failed miserably with only one home started to be built for every 10 homes sold. Nobody will believe their promises now.”
