Section 129 of the Housing Act 1988 enables a local housing authority in England and Wales, with the approval of the Secretary of State, to make a scheme to pay grants to certain tenants or licensees of the authority to assist them to buy a dwelling-house or to carry out works to a dwelling-house. The Secretary of State may require a scheme to contain particular provisions as a condition of his approval.
This Order amends section 129 by removing the requirement for the approval of the Secretary of State to a scheme, which is made by a local housing authority in England. The Order also makes consequential amendments.
