The Department for Communities and Local Government parliamentary questions session came on the same day as two announcements were made; a rise to £75k in the maximum amount of discount that a tenant can claim when exercising the Right to Buy and a related announcement on the New Buy Scheme, which is a mortgage indemnity scheme involving house builders and the taxpayer.
Questions: The session was similar to the 31st January 2012 question time: a calm almost temperate atmosphere. This serenity is aided by the Shadow Secretary of State, the Rt Hon Hilary Benn MP keeping his powder dry until the topical question section.
