when did right to buy council house start?
1980
the thatcher government was determined not to be deflected from its agenda as the heath government had been. a deflationary budget in 1980 led to substantial cuts in welfare spending and an initial short-term sharp rise in unemployment. the conservatives reduced or eliminated state assistance for struggling private industries, leading to large redundancies in many regions of the country, notably in labour's heartlands. however, conservative legislation extending the right for residents to buy council houses from the state proved very attractive to many labour voters. (labour had previously suggested this idea in their 1970 election manifesto, but had never acted on it.)
