More about the programme

The Welsh Government is committed to bringing forward legislation to end social housing tenants’ right to buy their home in the coming weeks. 

The cabinet secretary responsible for the bill says such action is needed to protect the diminishing Welsh social housing stock.

But his Conservative opposite number argues ministers should focus instead on building more homes of all kinds. 

Meanwhile Welsh tenants appear split on this most Marmite of issues. 

In the first in a new series of news and current affairs investigations, Nelli Bird explores the enduring appeal of the policy for some and hear why others believe the right to buy should be scrapped.
