EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
Article 2 of this Order amends Schedule 2A to the Housing Act 1985. Schedule 2A lists the serious offences relating to the absolute grounds for possession for anti-social behaviour provided for by section 84A of the Housing Act 1985 (secure tenancies), and ground 7A of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Housing Act 1988 (assured tenancies). Sections 1 and 2 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 introduce offences relating to slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking respectively. This Order adds these offences to Schedule 2A to the Housing Act 1985.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice in the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to this Order. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with this instrument.
