“(1) A local housing authority, or a county council which is not a local housing authority, must report to the Secretary of State on the exercise of its functions under the landlord legislation.

(2) A report under subsection (1) must—

(a) be provided at such time and in such form as the Secretary of State requires, and

(b) contain such information as the Secretary of State requires.”—

This new clause requires a local housing authority, or a county council which is not a local housing authority, to report at the request of the Secretary of State on the exercise of its functions under the landlord legislation. It is expected to be inserted after NC22.

Brought up, read the First and Second time, and added to the Bill.
