I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to make further provision for purchase by existing tenants of dwellings owned by voluntary housing bodies, under incremental purchase arrangements, in circumstances where the voluntary housing body and the local authority agrees that it would be beneficial to a tenant and a relevant local authority area to dispose of a particular dwelling; the ringfencing of the proceeds of the sale of such a dwelling towards the provision of additional housing by approved bodies and, in exceptional cases, to upgrade existing housing stock in the relevant local authority area and related matters.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
