New Right to Buy - Up to £75,000 Discount Rules

I am trying to find out 'the rules' regarding the new Right to Buy scheme allowing up to £75,000 discount.
My wife and I have just got married, she has been a council tennant for 17 years and was a single working parent prior to our marriage. She has always paid her rent and is eligible for a large right to buy discount
however, Now we are married.....
I currently own a flat which was purchased as a right to buy from the council over 10 years ago. I have moved in to my wifes council house and will be renting out my flat.
Now that we are married will the council take in to account the fact I already own a property....will she still get her full discount and can we still get a joint mortgage to purchase the house.
We can't find anything relating to our circumstance in the information booklets.
Many thanks
