The power in subsection 16G(6) allows the Secretary of State to specify matters in regulations which are to be excluded from the definition of "letting agency work". This is defined at 16G(4) for the purposes of setting out the types of marketing activities that are prohibited during "the restricted period" (see new section 16M for the meaning of that term) after relying on grounds 1 (occupation by landlord or family) or 1A (selling).
	This power gives the Secretary of State discretion to achieve a consistent definition of "letting agency work" across legislation, should definitions change in other Acts or in Part 2 of this Act where, for example, it is used in relation to the private rented sector database and related marketing restrictions. It will also enable government to narrow the definition by further listing activities that do not fall under "letting agency work" if, in light of experience, it proves too broad, for example, because other elements of the enforcement regime for this Act change.
	These Regulations are subject to the negative resolution procedure.
	The power in section 13, subsection (2) allows the Secretary of State to repeal sections 16F (3) to (5) , which provide an exemption for shared owners to the restriction on reletting or remarketing a property for twelve months after using Ground 1A. This will allow the Secretary of State to remove this exemption should it no longer be considered necessary.
	Regulations made using this power are subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.
