Section 111 – The register
230.Subsection (1) of section 111 requires the regulator to keep a register of persons providing social housing. Only those persons on the register will be subject to regulation by the social housing regulator. This broadly replicates the effect of section 1 of the 1996 Act.
231.Subsection (2) of section 111 requires the regulator to make the register publicly available. This broadly replicates the effect of the more restrictive provision in section 1(1) of the 1996 Act which requires that the register is made available at reasonable times at the Housing Corporation’s head office.
