I move amendment No. 26:

In page 47, line 8, after "provided" to insert "for the purpose specified in section 26(2)(b)(i)".

The purpose of the amendment is to clarify that only dwellings provided with assistance given by a housing authority under section 6 of the Housing Act 1992 can be transferred under section 54, which is the section that deals with transfer by consent. Concerns were raised about this. The section seeks to meet those concerns so the regulator cannot force the movement of property that was never funded in the first instance through the various funding streams for housing bodies.
