Part 4: Social Housing in England Chapter 1: Implementing the Right to Buy on a Voluntary Basis Monitoring compliance Section 66: Monitoring
This section anticipates the Secretary of State setting criteria for home ownership (which he must publish) against which private registered providers may be monitored. The Regulator must, if requested by the Secretary of State, monitor compliance by providers with these criteria and report to the Secretary of State accordingly. It also gives the Secretary of State the power to publish data about the level of compliance by private registered providers.
	The effect of this section is to ensure the Regulator has the power to monitor and report on how private registered providers are supporting their tenants into home ownership. It is envisaged that the criteria will initially be set with reference to the voluntary Right to Buy agreement that has been agreed between the Secretary of State and the private registered providers sector.
