EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Housing Benefit (Executive Determinations) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2008.

Regulation 2 inserts a new sub-paragraph (5A) into paragraph 2 of the Schedule. Paragraph 2 sets out how the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (“the Executive”) should determine a local housing allowance for each category of dwelling identified in paragraph 1. This process involves drawing up a list of rents, payable at the date of the determination, for dwellings within a broad rental market area. The new sub-paragraph will allow the Executive, where it is not satisfied that the list of rents for a particular category would contain sufficient rents to enable a representative local housing allowance to be determined, to add to the list rents for dwellings in the same category located in other areas in which a comparable market exists.
