 Subject: Clawback Review
 
Author: R H
Date:   11/1/2001 0:30 am WEDT

We were lied to.

We were told that a normal freehold sale was proposed.

Not true.

We were told that the Council got nothing out of the sale, all told.

Not true.

We were told that the transfer was entirely for the tenants' benefit.

Not true. The clawback is a gratuity. RHP tenants and leaseholders derive no benefit whatsoever from it. I suspect that those persuaded to go along with it were either misled or in some sort of trance.

The use of RTB receipts is an important political issue that ought to be debated. PRTB sales will result in a loss of nomination rights. The money should be used to replenish the social housing stock.

The issue was not debated and could hardly have been debated because the financial implications were not reported to any committee.

The responses to my enquiries about it, to the Council the DETR, the Housing Corporation and others have all been slow, non existent or bewildering.

None of the explanations given are satisfactory. The lack of any relevant guidance from the DETR is an extremely odd circumstance. The lack of any advice whatsoever in in the housing press is an extremely odd circumstance.

If more were known about the issue it would be contentious. This has recently been demonstrated in Glasgow where it did become an issue.
