(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends section 135 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993.
Under section 135 of the Act the Secretary of State may make a disposals programme for the disposal of dwelling-houses by local authorities in a financial year. The local authorities included in the programme may only make disposals under a disposals programme in that financial year. Article 2 of the Order removes the restriction limiting the period for disposals to a single financial year and extends it to two financial years.
