To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government whether Cannock Chase district council has taken up the offer from his Department to help promote the Right to Buy scheme.

My Department has offered support to all stock-owning local authorities, including delivering a Right to Buy tenant roadshow in partnership with them in the local area. I understand that Cannock Chase does not wish to take up our partnership offer at this time. I have recently visited an excellent Right to Buy roadshow in Basildon and have seen at first hand the value tenants place on receiving advice and help to explore home ownership further. I would encourage Cannock Chase and all stock-owning local authorities to consider the needs of their tenants and work with my Department to hold a Right to Buy roadshow.
