Where an association pays a sum or grants a benefit in contravention of this section, the association may recover the sum or the value of the benefit, and proceedings for its recovery shall be taken by the association if the Housing Corporation so directs.

in England and Wales, he has been adjudged bankrupt or he has made an arrangement with his creditors,

where the Corporation is of opinion that it is necessary for the proper management of the association's affairs to have an additional committee member.
A person may be so appointed whether or not he is a member of the association and, if he is not, notwithstanding that the rules of the association restrict appointment to members.
A person appointed under this section shall hold office for such period and on such terms as the Corporation may specify and on the expiry of the appointment the Corporation may renew the appointment for such period as it may specify; but this does not prevent a person appointed under this section from retiring in accordance with the rules of the association.
A person appointed under this section is entitled—
to attend, speak and vote at any general meeting of the association and to receive all notices of and other communications relating to any general meeting which a member of the association is entitled to receive, and

cause notice of the dissolution to be advertised in accordance with section 58(6) of that Act,
The references in this section to the Corporation's consent are to an order under the seal of the Corporation giving its consent.
The Housing Corporation may present a petition for the winding up under the Companies Act of a registered housing association to which this section applies on the ground that the association is failing properly to carry out its purposes or objects.
This section applies to a registered housing association which is—
a company incorporated under the Companies Act, or
a society registered under the 1965 Act (to which the winding up provisions of the Companies Act apply in accordance with section 55(a) of the 1965 Act).

are prepared in the requisite form, and
give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the association, so far as its housing activities are concerned, and of the disposition of funds and assets which are, or at any time have been, in its hands in connection with those activities.
The method by which an association shall distinguish in its accounts between its housing activities and other activities shall be laid down by orders under subsection (1).
The accounts of every registered housing association shall comply with the requirements laid down under this section ; and the auditor's report shall state, in addition to any other matters which it is required to state, whether in the auditor's opinion the accounts do so comply.

But this does not affect any obligation of the charity under section 8 of the Charities Act 1960 (statement of accounts to be transmitted to Charity Commissioners).
Every responsible person, that is to say, every person who— shall ensure that section 24 (general requirements as to accounts and audit) and, where applicable, Schedule 3 (accounting requirements for associations not within 1965 Act) are complied with by the association.

On completion of the inquiry the appointed person shall make a report to the Corporation on such matters and in such form as the Corporation may specify.
In this section " agent" includes banker, solicitor and auditor; but nothing in this section requires the disclosure—
by a solicitor, of a privileged communication made to him in his capacity as solicitor, or

On completion of the audit the appointed auditor shall make a report to the Corporation on such matters and in such form as the Corporation may specify.
The expenses of the audit, including the remuneration of the auditor, shall be paid by the Corporation.
An audit under this section is additional to, and does not affect, any audit made or to be made under any other enactment.
Where the Housing Corporation is satisfied, as the result of an inquiry under section 28 or an audit under section 29, that there has been misconduct or mismanagement in the affairs of a registered housing association, it may—
by order remove any member of the committee of the association, or any officer, agent or employee of the association, who has been responsible for or privy to the misconduct or mismanagement or has by his conduct contributed to it or facilitated it;
by order suspend such a person for up to six months, pending determination whether he should be removed;
order any bank or other person who holds money or securities on behalf of the association not to part with the money or securities without the approval of the Corporation;

to the person it intends to remove, and
to the association concerned.
Notice under subsection (2) may be given by post, and if so given to the person whom the Corporation intends to remove may be addressed to his last known address in the United Kingdom.

A person who contravenes an order under subsection (1)(c) commits a summary offence and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale or imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or both ; but proceedings for such an offence may be brought in England and Wales only by or with the consent of the Corporation or the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The Housing Corporation may exercise its powers under sections 28 to 30 (inquiry, audit, &c.) in relation to an association which is a registered charity only if the association has, at any time before the powers are exercised, received a grant or loan under— section 41 (housing association grants), section 54 or 55 (revenue deficit grants or hostel deficit grants), section 58(2) (grants or loans by local authorities), section 79 (loans by Housing Corporation), section 31 of the Housing Act 1974 (management grants), or any enactments mentioned in paragraph 2 or 3 of Schedule 1 (pre-1974 grants and certain loans).
In relation to such an association sections 28 to 30 have effect with the following adaptations—
references to an officer, agent or member, or to a member of the committee, include a trustee of the association;
references to the association's business are confined to its housing activities;
references to the association's accounts do not include revenue accounts which do not relate to its housing activities, except so far as such accounts are necessary for the auditing of revenue accounts which do so relate or of the association's balance sheet;
a person is a qualified auditor for the purposes of section 29 (extraordinary audit) only if he is an auditor qualified for the purposes of paragraph 3 of Schedule 3.
In relation to such an association the powers conferred on the Corporation by— section 28(1) (appointment of person to inquire into association's affairs), and section 30(1)(a) and (b) (removal of person in connection with misconduct or mismanagement and suspension with a view to removal), are exercisable only after consultation with the Charity Commissioners.
Where, as the result of an inquiry under section 28 or an audit under section 29. the Housing Corporation is satisfied as regards a registered housing association which is a society registered under the 1965 Act— the Corporation may, with the consent of the Secretary of State, direct the association to make such a transfer.
that there has been misconduct or mismanagement in the administration of the association, or
that the management of the land belonging to the association would be improved if the land belonging to the association were transferred in accordance with the provisions of this section,
Where the association concerned is a charity, the Housing Corporation may only direct a transfer to be made to another registered housing association—
which is also a charity, and
the objects of which appear to the Corporation to be, as nearly as practicable, akin to those of the association concerned.
In any other case the Corporation may direct a transfer to be made to the Corporation or to another registered housing association.
A transfer in pursuance of a direction under this section shall be made on the terms that the transferee will pay or undertake to pay to the association concerned such sum (if any) as will be necessary to defray all its proper debts and liabilities (including debts and liabilities secured on the land) after taking into account any money or other assets belonging to the association.
If it appears to the Corporation likely that the association concerned will as a result of the transfer be dissolved under the 1965 Act, the Corporation shall secure that the costs of the dissolution are taken into account in determining the sum payable to the association under subsection (4).
The Secretary of State may, if he thinks fit, recognise for the purposes of this section a central association or other body established for the purposes of promoting the formation and extension of housing associations and of giving them advice and assistance.
The Secretary of State may make a grant in aid of the expenses of the association or body of such amount as he may, with the approval of the Treasury, determine.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Where a housing association wishes to erect houses in Englandwhich in the opinion of the Secretary of State are required and the local housing authority in whose district the houses are proposed to be built are unwilling to acquire land with a view to selling or leasing it to the association, the county council, on the application of the association, may acquire land for that purpose.
For that purpose the county council may exercise all the powers of a local housing authority under Part II of the Housing Act 1985 (provision of housing) in regard to the acquisition and disposal of land; and the provisions of that Act as to the acquisition of land by local housing authorities for the purposes of that Part apply accordingly.
A housing trust may—
sell or lease to the local housing authority the houses provided by the trust, or
make over to the authority the management of the houses.
So far as subsection (1) confers power to dispose of land—

beginning in the financial year in which, in the opinion of the Secretary of State, the project is completed or its completion has become impossible, and
continuing over such number of years as he may determine, either generally or in relation to the particular project.

This paragraph applies where, on a disposal of a house under section 8, in accordance with a consent given by the Housing Corporation under section 9, a discount has been given to the purchaser by the housing association; but this paragraph does not apply in any such case if the consent so provides. On the disposal the conveyance, grant or assignment shall contain a covenant binding on the purchaser and his successors in title to pay to the housing association on demand, if within a period of three years there is a relevant disposal which is not an exempted disposal (but if there is more than one such disposal then only on the first of them), an amount equal to the discount reduced by one-third for each complete year which has elapsed after the conveyance, grant or assignment, and before the further disposal.
The liability that may arise under the covenant required by paragraph 1 is a charge on the house, taking effect as if it had been created by deed expressed to be by way of legal mortgage. Subject to sub-paragraphs (2A) and (2B), the charge has priority immediately after any legal charge securing an amount— The following, namely— shall rank in priority to that charge if, and only if, the housing association by written notice served on the institution concerned gives its consent; and the housing association shall so give its consent if the purpose of the advance or further advance is an approved purpose. The housing association may at any time by written notice served on an approved lending institution postpone the charge taking effect by virtue of this paragraph to any advance or further advance which— and the housing association shall serve such a notice if the purpose of the advance or further advance is an approved purpose. A charge taking effect by virtue of this section is a land charge for the purposes of section 59 of the Land Registration Act 1925 notwithstanding subsection (5) of that section (exclusion of mortgages), and subsection (2) of that section applies accordingly with respect to its protection and realisation. The covenant required by paragraph 1 (covenant for repayment of discount) does not, by virtue of its binding successors in title of the purchaser, bind a person exercising rights under a charge having priority over the charge taking effect by virtue of this paragraph, or a person deriving title under him; and a provision of the conveyance, grant or assignment, or of a collateral agreement, is void in so far as it purports to authorise a forfeiture, or to impose a penalty or disability, in the event of any such person failing to comply with that covenant. The approved lending institutions for the purposes of this paragraph are— a building society, a bank, a trustee savings bank, an insurance company, a friendly society, the Housing Corporation and any body specified, or of a class or description specified, in an order made under section 156 of the Housing Act 1985 (which makes provision in relation to disposals in pursuance of the right to buy corresponding to that made by this paragraph). The approved purposes for the purposes of this paragraph are— and in this sub-paragraph “service charge” has the meaning given by section 621A of the Housing Act 1985. Where different parts of an advance or further advance are made for different purposes, each of those parts shall be regarded as a separate advance or further advance for the purposes of this paragraph.
Where a conveyance, grant or assignment executed under section 8 is of a house situated in— the conveyance, grant or assignment may (unless it contains a condition of a kind mentioned in section 33(2)(b) or (c) of the Housing Act 1985 (right of pre-emption or restriction on assignment)) contain a covenant limiting the freedom of the purchaser (including any successor in title of his and any person deriving title under him or such a successor) to dispose of the house in the manner specified below. The limitation is that until such time (if any) as may be notified in writing by the housing association to the purchaser or a successor in title of his, there will be no relevant disposal which is not an exempted disposal without the written consent of the housing association; but that consent shall not be withheld if the disposal is to a person satisfying the condition stated in sub-paragraph (3). The condition is that the person to whom the disposal is made (or, if it is made to more than one person, at least one of them) has, throughout the period of three years immediately preceding the application for consent— or has had the one in part or parts of that period and the other in the remainder; but the region need not have been the same throughout the period. A disposal in breach of such a covenant as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) is void. The limitation imposed by such a covenant is a local land charge and, if the land is registered under the Land Registration Act 1925, the Chief Land Registrar shall enter the appropriate restriction on the register of title as if application therefor had been made under section 58 of that Act. In this paragraph “purchaser” means the person acquiring the interest disposed of by the first disposal.
A disposal, whether of the whole or part of the house, is a relevant disposal for the purposes of this Schedule if it is— For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(b) it shall be assumed—
A disposal is an exempted disposal for the purposes of this Schedule if— For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(a), a person is a qualifying person in relation to a disposal if—
In this Schedule a “compulsory disposal” means a disposal of property which is acquired compulsorily, or is acquired by a person who has made or would have made, or for whom another person has made or would have made, a compulsory purchase order authorising its compulsory purchase for the purposes for which it is acquired.
Where there is a relevant disposal which is an exempted disposal by virtue of paragraph 5(1)(d) or (e) (compulsory disposal or disposal of yard, garden etc.)—
the covenant required by paragraph 1 (repayment of discount on early disposal) is not binding on the person to whom the disposal is made or any successor in title of his, and that covenant and the charge taking effect by virtue of paragraph 2 cease to apply in relation to the property disposed of, and
any such covenant as is mentioned in paragraph 3 (restriction on disposal of houses in National Parks, etc.) ceases to apply in relation to the property disposed of.
For the purposes of this Schedule the grant of an option enabling a person to call for a relevant disposal which is not an exempted disposal shall be treated as such a disposal made to him. For the purposes of paragraph 3(2) (requirement of consent to disposal of house in National Park, etc.) a consent to such a grant shall be treated as a consent to a disposal made in pursuance of the option.
The association shall in respect of its housing activities— The books of account must be such as to enable a true and fair view to be given of the state of affairs of the association in respect of its housing activities, and to explain its transactions in the course of those activities.
The association shall for each period of account prepare— The revenue account and balance sheet must be signed by at least two trustees of the association.
The association shall in each period of account appoint a qualified auditor to audit the accounts prepared in accordance with paragraph 2. A person is qualified for the purposes of this paragraph if he is eligible for appointment as a company auditor under section 25 of the Companies Act 1989. But none of the following shall be appointed— and a body of persons (whether corporate or unincorporate and whether or not itself a charity) is for this purpose an associated body if it is essentially under the same management . . . A Scottish firm is qualified for appointment as auditor, notwithstanding sub-paragraph (3)(c), if each of the partners in it is qualified for appointment.
The association’s auditor appointed under this Schedule shall make a report to the association on the accounts audited by him. The report shall state whether in the auditor’s opinion—
The auditor in preparing his report shall carry out such investigations as will enable him to form an opinion as to the following matters— and if he is of opinion that the association has failed in any respect to comply with this Schedule, or if the accounts are not in agreement with the books, he shall state that fact in his report.
whether the association has kept, in respect of its housing activities, proper books of account in accordance with the requirements of this Schedule;
whether the association has maintained a satisfactory system of control over its transactions in accordance with those requirements, and
whether the accounts are in agreement with the association’s books;
The auditor— and if he fails to obtain all the information and explanations which, to the best of his knowledge and belief, are necessary for the purposes of his audit, he shall state that fact in his report.
has a right of access at all times to the books, deeds and accounts of the association, so far as relating to its housing activities, and to all other documents relating to those activities, and
is entitled to require from the trustees or officers of the association such information and explanations as he thinks necessary for the performance of his duties;
A period of account for the purposes of this Schedule is twelve months or such other period not less than six months or more than 18 months as the association may, with the consent of the Corporation, determine.

Where a subsidy agreement provides for the payment of greater amounts than those which the authority would have been obliged to pay under the relevant enactment, the authority shall continue to pay to the housing association sums equal to the difference between the amounts for the payment of which the agreement provides and the amounts which they would have been obliged to pay by that enactment.
Sections 69, 71.
Basic residual subsidy is payable to a housing association in accordance with the following provisions where the association received payments from the Secretary of State for the financial year 1971-72 under certain enactments under which, in accordance with the Housing Finance Act 1972, no payments were to be made for 1972-73 or any subsequent year. A housing association is entitled to basic residual subsidy for a financial year if— The amount of basic residual subsidy payable to an association for any year is the amount (if any) by which the basic residual subsidy payable for the previous year exceeds the withdrawal factor. Subject to any direction of the Secretary of State under paragraph 4(2), the withdrawal factor is the sum produced by multiplying £20 by the number of dwellings as at 31st March 1972 in respect of which the association’s subsidies for 1971-72 (as defined in section 72(4) of the Housing Finance Act 1972) were payable.
Special residual subsidy is payable to a housing association in accordance with the following provisions in respect of dwellings which— A housing association is entitled to special residual subsidy for a financial year if— The amount of special residual subsidy payable to an association for any year is the amount (if any) by which the special residual subsidy payable for the previous year exceeds the reduction factor.

No basic or special residual subsidy is payable to a co-operative housing association.
This paragraph applies where a housing association, by furnishing to the Secretary of State such information as to its financial position as he may require, satisfies him as regards any financial year that its income from its dwellings will be, or was, inadequate having regard to its normal sources of income to meet such expenditure (including loan charges) as in his opinion it would be, or was, reasonable for the association to incur for that financial year in the exercise of its housing functions. Where this paragraph applies, the Secretary of State may direct that the amount of basic residual subsidy or special residual subsidy payable to the association for the financial year in question shall be determined— A direction under this paragraph may be varied or revoked by the Secretary of State by a further direction. In sub-paragraph (1) “housing functions” means— and includes functions which are supplementary or incidental to any of those functions.

For the purposes of this paragraph a lease shall be treated as being for a term exceeding seven years where the original term is for a lesser period but the lease confers on the lessee an option for renewal for a term which, together with the original term, exceeds seven years.
The preceding provisions apply in relation to the financial year 1986-87 and subsequent financial years. The repeal by the Housing (Consequential Provisions) Act 1985 of the provisions of the Housing Finance Act 1972 relating to basic and special residual subsidies does not affect the operation of those provisions in relation to previous financial years.

Where such a contribution is paid to a local authority, the authority shall pay to the housing association by way of annual grant an amount not less than the contribution.
The Secretary of State may, in any of the circumstances mentioned in sub-paragraph (2), reduce the amount of the contributions in respect of a particular subsidised unit, or suspend or discontinue the payment of the contributions, or part of them, as he thinks just in the circumstances. The circumstances referred to in sub-paragraph (1) are— The local authority may reduce to a corresponding or less extent the annual grant payable by them to the association, or, as the case may be, suspend payment of the whole or a corresponding part of the payment for a corresponding period, or discontinue the payment or a corresponding part.
Contributions by the Secretary of State under section 16 of the Housing (Financial Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1968 remain payable in connection with arrangements made under— section 14 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1962, or section 154 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1966, (arrangements between Secretary of State and housing associations) and approved before 1st April 1975. The Secretary of State may, in any of the circumstances mentioned in sub-paragraph (3), reduce the amount of the contributions in respect of a particular subsidised unit, or suspend or discontinue the payment of the contributions, or part of them, as he thinks just in the circumstances. The circumstances referred to in sub-paragraph (2) are—
A scheme under section 123 of the Housing Act 1957 (schemes for the unification of divergent grant conditions affecting the management of a housing association’s houses) which was made before 10th August 1972 and is in force immediately before the commencement of this Act remains in force under this paragraph.
A scheme under section 157 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1966 (schemes for the unification of divergent grant conditions affecting the management of a housing association’s houses) which was made before 3rd August 1972 and is in force immediately before the commencement of this Act remains in force under this paragraph.
The following subsidies remain payable in respect of building schemes or improvement schemes approved by the Secretary of State before 1st April 1975— Payment of the subsidy is subject to the making of a claim for the payment in such form, and containing such particulars as the Secretary of State may from time to time determine. The amount of the subsidy payable for a financial year shall be calculated to the nearest pound by rounding up any odd amount of 50p or more and rounding down any lesser amount. The subsidy is payable at such times and in such manner as the Treasury may direct, and subject to such conditions as to records, certificates, audit or otherwise as the Secretary of State may, with the approval of the Treasury, impose.
The Secretary of State may make reduced payments of subsidy, or suspend or discontinue such payments, if— If any of the dwellings comprised in the scheme become vested in, or are leased for a term exceeding seven years to— the Secretary of State may, for any year beginning with that in which they come to be so vested or are so leased, pay them the whole or any part of the subsidy which he would otherwise have paid to the association which received approval for the scheme. For the purposes of this paragraph a dwelling shall be treated as leased for a term exceeding seven years if it is leased for a lesser term by a lease which confers on the lessee an option for renewal for a term which, together with the original term, exceeds seven years.
Where a housing association satisfies the Secretary of State, by furnishing him with such information as to its financial position as he may require, that the amount of new building subsidy for a year will be, or was, inadequate having regard to its normal sources of income to enable it to meet such expenditure (including loan charges) as in his opinion it would be, or was, reasonable for it to incur for that year in the exercise of its housing functions, he may direct that for that year the percentage of the initial deficit to be met by subsidy shall be greater than that otherwise applicable. The percentage shall not, however, be greater than 90 per cent. or the percentage met by subsidy for the immediately preceding year, whichever is less. This paragraph does not apply in relation to the year of completion or the second or third year for which new building subsidy is payable. In this paragraph—
Where before 1st April 1976 a registered housing association made an application for housing association grant in respect of a housing project which was or included a building scheme or improvement scheme which had been previously approved for the purposes of any of the provisions mentioned in paragraph 1 and the Secretary of State gave his approval to that project for the purposes of housing association grant, no further payments of new building subsidy or improvement subsidy shall be made in respect of that approved scheme. A condition imposed by the Secretary of State in such a case by virtue of section 35(2)(b) of the Housing Act 1974, requiring the repayment of all or any of the payments of new building subsidy or improvement subsidy already paid, if in force immediately before the commencement of this Act, remains in force under this sub-paragraph. No account shall be taken under section 47(2)(b) (estimation of net cost of project for purposes of housing association grant: income to include subsidies) of payments of subsidy received which are required to be repaid in pursuance of such a condition.
Section 21 of the Housing (Financial Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1968 (exchequer contributions for hostels) continues to have effect in relation to buildings provided or converted by a housing association which were approved by the Secretary of State for the purposes of subsection (1) of that section before 1st April 1975. A registered housing association may not make an application for housing association grant in respect of a housing project which consists of or includes the carrying out of works for the provision of hostels if before 1st April 1975 any contribution has been made under section 21 of the Housing (Financial Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1968. If in a case where sub-paragraph (2) does not prevent the making of such an application a registered housing association makes an application for housing association grant in respect of a housing project falling within that sub-paragraph and the Secretary of State gives his approval to the project for the purposes of housing association grant, section 21 of the Housing (Financial Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1968 shall cease to have effect with respect to the provision of hostels referred to in that sub-paragraph.

The members of the Housing Corporation, of whom there shall be not more than fifteen, shall be appointed by the Secretary of State. Before appointing a person to be a member of the Corporation the Secretary of State shall satisfy himself that he will have no financial or other interest likely to affect prejudicially the exercise of his functions as member; and the Secretary of State may require a person whom he proposes to appoint to give him such information as he considers necessary for that purpose.
The members of the Housing Corporation shall hold and vacate office in accordance with the terms of their appointment, subject to the following provisions. A member may resign his membership by notice in writing addressed to the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State may remove a member from office if he is satisfied that— The Secretary of State shall satisfy himself from time to time with respect to every member that he has no financial or other interest likely to affect prejudicially the exercise of his functions as a member; and he may require a member to give him such information as he considers necessary for that purpose.
The Secretary of State shall appoint one of the members to be Chairman and one to be Deputy Chairman; and the members so appointed shall hold and vacate those offices in accordance with the terms of their appointment, subject to the following provisions. The Chairman or Deputy Chairman may resign his office by notice in writing addressed to the Secretary of State. If the Chairman or Deputy Chairman ceases to be a member of the Corporation, he also ceases to be Chairman or Deputy Chairman.
The Secretary of State may pay the Chairman, Deputy Chairman and members such remuneration as he may, with the consent of the Treasury, determine. The Housing Corporation may pay them such reasonable allowances as may be so determined in respect of expenses properly incurred by them in the performance of their duties.
The Secretary of State may, with the consent of the Treasury, determine to pay in respect of a person's office as Chairman, Deputy Chairman or member— As soon as may be after the making of such a determination the Secretary of State shall lay before each House of Parliament a statement of the amount payable in pursuance of the determination. Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply in the case of a member who has been admitted in pursuance of regulations under section 7 of the Superannuation Act 1972 to participate in the benefits of a superannuation fund maintained by a local authority. In such a case the Secretary of State shall make any payments required to be made to the fund in respect of the member by the employing authority and may make such deductions from his remuneration as the employing authority might make in respect of his contributions to the fund.
The quorum of the Housing Corporation and the arrangements relating to its meetings shall, subject to any directions given by the Secretary of State, be such as the Corporation may determine. The validity of proceedings of the Corporation is not affected by any defect in the appointment of any of its members.
Where a member of the Housing Corporation is in any way directly or indirectly interested in a contract made or proposed to be made by the Corporation— A general notice given by a member at a meeting of the Corporation to the effect that he is a member of a specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract which may be made with the company or firm is a sufficient disclosure of his interest for the purposes of this paragraph in relation to a contract made after the date of the notice. A member need not attend in person at a meeting of the Corporation in order to make any disclosure which he is required to make under this paragraph provided he takes reasonable steps to secure that the disclosure is brought up and read at the meeting.
The fixing of the Housing Corporation's seal may be authenticated by the signature of the Chairman or of any other person authorised for the purpose. A document purporting to be duly executed under the seal of the Corporation shall be received in evidence and be deemed to be so executed unless the contrary is proved.
Section 82.
This Schedule applies where—
the Housing Corporation made a loan to a housing association under section 2 of the Housing Act 1964 before the repeal of that section by the Housing (Consequential Provisions) Act 1985,
the Housing Corporation’s rights and obligations in respect of the loan have been transferred to the Regulator of Social Housing, and
the loan has not been repaid.
The Regulator of Social Housing may ... give the association directions with respect to the disposal of land belonging to the association in which the Regulator of Social Housing has an interest as mortgagee under a mortgage, or as creditor in a heritable security, entered into by the association to secure the loan. Directions so given may be varied or revoked by subsequent directions ... . The written consent of the Secretary of State is required for the giving, varying or revoking of directions by the Regulator of Social Housing.
Where the Regulator of Social Housing proposes to give a housing association directions under paragraph 2 requiring the association to transfer to the Regulator of Social Housing the association’s interest in any land, the Secretary of State shall not consent to the giving of the directions unless he at the same time approves, or has previously approved, a scheme under paragraph 5 with respect to that land ....
Where the Regulator of Social Housing proposes to give directions under paragraph 2 to an association whose rules restrict membership to persons entitled or prospectively entitled (whether as tenants or otherwise) to occupy a dwelling provided or managed by the association requiring the association to transfer its interest in any such land to the Regulator of Social Housing, or to any other person, the Secretary of State shall not consent to the giving of the directions unless he is satisfied that arrangements have been made which, if the directions are given, will secure that the members of the association receive fair treatment in connection with the transfer. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
If it appears to the Regulator of Social Housing— the Regulator of Social Housing may prepare and submit to the Secretary of State a scheme. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The scheme shall be for the Regulator of Social Housing— Where such a scheme is submitted to the Secretary of State by the Regulator of Social Housing, the Secretary of State, on being satisfied of— may, if he thinks fit, approve the scheme. If he does so the Regulator of Social Housing shall have power to acquire for the purposes of the scheme the association’s interest in the land and to carry through the provisions of the scheme. A scheme approved by the Secretary of State under this paragraph may be varied from time to time in accordance with proposals in that behalf made by the Regulator of Social Housing and approved by the Secretary of State. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
