Purpose of the consultation
The Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee is undertaking an inquiry into the general principles of the Abolition of the Right to Buy and Associated Rights (Wales) Bill. Further details about the Bill and the accompanying Explanatory Memorandum can be found on the Bill page.
Terms of reference
The Committee’s terms of reference for its inquiry are::
To consider —
- the general principles of the Abolition of the Right
to Buy and Associated Rights (Wales) Bill and the need for legislation to
deliver the stated policy intention, i.e. to protect the supply of social
housing from further erosion in the face of a high level of demand and a
supply shortage,
- the provisions of the Bill in relation to:
- the restriction on exercising the right to buy and
the right to acquire (sections 2 to 5);
- the abolition of the right to buy and the rights to
acquire (section 6);
- the removal of the power for Welsh Ministers to make
discount grants (section 7);
- and the duty to provide tenants and prospective
tenants with information,
- any potential barriers to the implementation of the
Bill’s provisions and whether the Bill takes account of them,
- whether there are any unintended consequences arising
from the Bill, and
- the financial implications of the Bill (as set out in
Part 2 of the Explanatory Memorandum).
