Part 2: Arbitration Guidance Section 21: Guidance
Subsection (1) gives the Secretary of State the power to issue guidance to arbitrators about the exercise of their functions and to landlords and tenants about making a reference to arbitration under this Act. Subsection (2) allows the Secretary of State to revise that guidance. This guidance would, for example, be able to give arbitrators and the parties guidance on the type of information to be provided to the arbitrator (including in relation to the assessment of the tenant’s viability), on the process to be followed and on the handling of arbitration cases.
	Any guidance issued or revised under this section must be published.
