Mr. Liam Murray:

The Affordable Housing Act defines cost rental, and the intention is that any property defined as cost rental and owned by an approved housing body would fall under this. The scheme is managed by the Housing Agency.

It goes back to where as it is currently written cancellations or similar requests for information from the regulator must be notified to local authorities. However, because the cost-rental scheme is administered by the Housing Agency, it would also receive that notification and would be allowed make representations back before any action is taken by the regulator.
