Labour mayor Andy Burnham yesterday urged the Government to let him suspend the Right to Buy scheme in Greater Manchester.
He blamed the policy for making the housing crisis 'worse every year' as he pledged to press pause in his region.
Mr Burnham vowed to build 10,000 homes across Greater Manchester after he was elected for a third term in last week's mayoral elections.
Margaret Thatcher's Right to Buy policy, introduced in 1980, allows council tenants to buy homes at a discount, helping them get on the housing ladder.
Labour's Deputy
