My amendment seeks to provide for the purchase by existing tenants of dwellings owned by voluntary housing associations, along with incremental purchase arrangements. The proceeds derived from same will be retained by approved bodies for the provision of housing or, in exceptional circumstances, will be retained by local authorities for the repair and maintenance of existing stock, where funds have been depleted for such provision in recent years.
