Data on local authority right to buy receipts are only collected quarterly. Data on receipts paid back to the Department do not distinguish between right to buy receipts and receipts of sales of dwellings not under the right to buy scheme. The following table sets out the receipts arising from the sales of local authority properties under the right to buy scheme between April 2006 and March 2008.
The table also sets out the amount from the receipts arising from all sales of local authority dwellings that are paid to the Secretary of State.
Figures are based on returns made to CLG by local authorities.
