In page 48, between lines 27 and 28, to insert the following:“Amendment of section 44 of the Act of 2009
35. Section 44 of the Act of 2009 is amended by the insertion of the following subsections after subsection (1):“(1A) Subsection (1)(a) does not apply in circumstances where a local authority and an approved body agrees that to dispose of a dwelling to a tenant that was constructed prior to the enactment of this Act would be in the best interests of—(a) the tenant, and/or(1B) The proceeds of sale of any disposal under subsection (1A) shall be ring-fenced for the purposes of—
(b) the local community in which the particular dwelling is situated.(a) provision of additional housing by approved bodies in the local authority area in which the particular dwelling is situated, and
