Mrs May said: "Giving tenants a new right to buy these homes when they go on the market will help thousands of people get on the first rung of the housing ladder, and fixed terms will make sure money is reinvested so we have a constant supply of new homes for social rent".
Theresa May will this week promise a "new deal for workers" with a pledge to offer protections for "gig economy" workers and new rights to take time off to care for relatives.
She has also vowed to increase the National Living Wage, which is now £7.50 an hour, to match average earnings until 2022.
