The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tim Farron on 2016-02-01.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to him on 2 December 2015, PQ 18460.

At that time, Right to Buy campaign spend figures for October and November were provisional as the campaign was still running. Confirmed monthly expenditure from October to December 2015 is as follows:

October – £155,001
November – £171,066
December – £142,656

Figures for January 2016 are still be finalised so are not yet available.
