Housing and Regeneration Act 2008

Relationship with other bodies
Section 105 - Co-operation with the HCA

206.Subsection (1) requires the regulator to co-operate with the HCA.

207.Subsection (2) requires the regulator to consult the HCA on matters likely to interest it. This mirrors a parallel provision at section 37, requiring the HCA to co-operate with the regulator, and to consult the regulator on matters likely to interest it.

Section 106 - Direction to the HCA

208.This section gives the regulator a power to direct the HCA not to give financial assistance to a specified registered provider. The regulator’s direction may only be made in respect of the HCA’s power to give financial assistance under section 19 in connection with social housing.

209.The purpose of this power is to prevent financial assistance from being given to a registered provider where there are serious concerns about mismanagement or about the viability of the organisation. This power may be used in the most serious interventions by the regulator, as described in subsection (2):

  • the regulator has decided to hold an inquiry into affairs of the registered provider under section 206 (and the inquiry is not concluded),

  • the regulator has received notice in respect of the registered provider under section 145 (moratorium), or

  • the regulator has appointed an officer of the registered provider under section 269 (and the person appointed has not vacated office).

210.Subsection (3) states that a direction may prohibit the HCA from giving assistance of a specified kind (whether or not in pursuance of a decision already taken and communicated to the registered provider). This means that the regulator could prohibit some forms of financial assistance while allowing others. It also means that the regulator could prohibit financial assistance even where, for example, a funding agreement is already in place.

211.Subsection (4) prevents the regulator from issuing a direction prohibiting grant to a registered provider where that grant is to be given in respect of discounts given by the provider on disposals of dwellings to tenants. This ensures that the regulator’s powers do not interfere with the HCA’s statutory duty to pay grants under section 35 (duty to give financial assistance in connection with certain disposals).

212.Subsection (5) states that a direction shall have effect until withdrawn.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
