Social Housing Reform (Flexible Purchasing and Remedial Matters) Bill
Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.
This Bill amends the Housing Restructuring and Tenancy Matters Act 1992 to allow the social housing agency (currently the Ministry of Social Development) to enter into more flexible and innovative purchasing arrangements for social housing. It creates a ministerial direction power for the Minister responsible for the agency that enables the agency to enter into tailored agreements with social housing providers.MP in charge

A "sitting day" can last more than one day when the House is in urgency or an extended sitting. In this case, all business is officially recorded as happening on the date the sitting started (the sitting date), even if the actual date (the calendar date) is different. Find out more.
