Part 4: Social Housing in England Chapter 2: Vacant Higher Value Local Authority Housing Payments to Secretary of State by Local Housing Authorities Section 73: Determinations in the first year that section 69 comes into force
Where section 69 (payments to the Secretary of State) comes into force part way through a financial year, this section enables the Secretary of State to make a determination during that financial year even though in relation to future financial years there is a requirement that the determination is made before the start of the financial year concerned (see section 72(1)). If a determination is made in reliance on this section, then the determination can only relate to housing which is likely to become vacant during the period after the date on which the determination is made.
