M S Young (Letters, October 24) is confusing two points on Conservative housing policy.
The national party decision to allow tenants in housing association properties to buy their homes is different to compulsorily forcing current council homes to be transferred to housing associations.
Perhaps, once that distinction is understood, the charge of "untrustworthy" might be withdrawn?
What is untrustworthy is this Labour government concealing its plans to limit the right to buy at the last election, denying real opportunity to people in cities such as Brighton and Hove, where getting on the housing ladder is difficult enough thanks to the massive house price increases over which it has presided.
-Coun Brian Oxley, leader of the Conservative group, Brighton and Hove City Council
