As I understood it from the approved housing bodies, when the CSO recommendations refer to the contractual arrangements, one of the issues of concern is that the local authorities nominate potential tenants through the approved housing bodies. While those approved housing bodies can refuse any nomination, it would be replaced by another nomination. The approved housing bodies are saying that was not an issue of concern in the EUROSTAT decision to reclassify in the UK. Perhaps that was evened out by EUROSTAT in its final decision.
