Right to buy home revival: How could a revamped scheme work and is it a good idea?

More than 40 years after Margaret Thatcher introduced Right to Buy, the current Prime Minister is considering plans to revamp the scheme.

Could it unleash a home buying revolution and help give a much needed boost to the Government, or is it a bad idea rehashing an old scheme?

This week, Simon Lambert, Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost discuss the plans, how it could work and why it may be unleashed in the near future.

Would it be unfair to private renters? With ever increasing property prices, would people be able to purchase them? And what are the current Right to Buy rules?

It's safe to say that green bonds, launched by National Savings and Investments last year, have been a damp squib.

Rates on them are low, and a three-year fix is a relatively niche product. Just how far have they missed the mark and could the rate head higher again to make them more attractive?

On the other hand, Premium Bonds continue to be an incredibly popular way to save.

The two jackpot winners this month had huge sums held in them – is that the only chance you have of winning a £1million, maxing out the holdings?

There are calls to claim your pension credit – nearly 1million people are missing out on extra cash and 'the door to more,' by not taking advantage. Could you, or someone you know, benefit?

The Bank of England celebrates 25 years of independence – we ask whether New Labour's gamble of making it independent has paid off, just as it hikes base rate to a 13-year high of 1 per cent.

Meanwhile, Lee reveals details of a new This is Money columnist signing – businessman Dave Fishwick is ready to take your business and careers questions. Found out how you can contact him.
