The Housing (Preservation of Right to Buy) (Amendment) Regulations 1990
Section 164 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 (c. 42) provides for a new paragraph to be substituted for paragraph 11 of Schedule 5 to the Housing Act 1985. The new paragraph provides an exception to the right to buy in respect of dwellings for persons of pensionable age. The exception only applies where the Secretary of State has determined that the right to buy is not to be capable of being exercised.
