Editor's Notes
I work on the Community Right to Buy assets of community value in DCLG with other colleagues who are here today. I will provide a short overview of the background and purpose of the CRtB and how we envisage it working. Then Charles will go through some of the key questions in the consultation document to lead into the table discussions. We may not be able to cover all questions in this session due to time, but we would very much like to receive your written response to the consultation before 3 May.
