I move amendment No. 3:

In page 8, between lines 33 and 34, to insert the following:

"(6) In performing its functions under subsections (1) and (5), a housing authority shall— (a) prepare and publish plans relating to periods of three, five and ten years (in this section referred to as a “housing authority affordable housing plan”) which shall specify measures the housing authority shall undertake—
(i) to make dwellings available for the purpose of sale to eligible applicants under affordable dwelling purchase arrangements, and

(ii) to make dwellings available for designation as cost rental dwellings in accordance with section 31,
(b) prepare and publish the first housing authority affordable housing plan within six months of the coming into operation of this section, and

(c) conduct and publish a review in each year of the progress made during the preceding year in respect of the housing authority affordable housing plan.".
