Whereas, with respect to registration areas in England, it appears to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions that it is no longer appropriate for the appointment, remuneration and administration of rent officers to be a function of local authorities(1);

Now therefore the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by section 64B of the Rent Act 1977(2), and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf, hereby makes the following Order–

(1)

See section 64B(1) of the Rent Act 1977 (c. 42); section 64B was inserted by section 120 of, and Part II of Schedule 14 to, the Housing Act 1988 (c. 50).

(2)

The Secretary of State can exercise the power under this section only in relation to England: see article 2 of and Schedule 1 to the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672).
