Council tenants are to be offered increased discounts of up to £50,000 to buy their homes in a shake-up if the Right to Buy scheme.
Discounts could be trebled in some parts of the country in a dramatic change to what housing minister Grant Shapps said had become 'a social mobility programme run by Ebenezer Scrooge.'
The move forms part of a Government effort to ease the struggle and help some of the two million social tenants in England to buy the property they live in.
