Re: Affordable housing???

Here are the rates for discounts for council houses .
They are generous discounts .

What I don't understand is why councils were /are not allowed to use the money to build more .

Re: Affordable housing???

There must have been a reasoning behind this and the Labour government didn't change it so what is it?
