One of the other elements that has alarmed people, quite apart from a postcode lottery, is that in the former pit villages that I represent where there was a lot of social housing and many people exercised the right to buy and are now private tenants, there is one rule for private tenants and a completely different one for those people who are in social housing. From the outside they appear to be exactly the same sort of houses, and the provision seems to discriminate against those with less money.
