Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

Work is continuing to meet the commitment in the Government’s Social Housing Strategy 2020 to commence major provisions under Part 2 (Termination of Local Authority Tenancies, etc.) of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2014, and it is expected that Statutory Instruments in this regard will be made shortly.
