Section 10(a)(iv) lists sales or consents to sales under Part 3 of the Bill, that is, the incremental purchase scheme as a housing support forming one of three specific elements of the housing services provided by the housing authority under the housing Acts. However, the social housing support is also listed in section 10(a)(i) as a form of housing support and elements of the social housing support are listed separately in section 19(2). As sales or consents to sales under an incremental purchase are listed as social housing support in section 19(2)(c), they should not be listed as a stand alone housing support in section 10(a). Hence the proposed deletion of section 10(a)(iv).
