The Localism Act 2011 (Housing and Regeneration Functions in Greater London) (Consequential, Transitional and Saving Provisions) (No. 2) Order 2012
Section 189 of the Localism Act 2011 (“the Act”), which is brought into force on 1st April 2012 (“the commencement date”), introduces a definition of England in respect of the Homes and Communities Agency’s objects which excludes Greater London. It also makes other amendments to Part 1 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 to exclude Greater London from references to England. The purpose of these changes is to facilitate the transfer of the functions of the Agency, in so far as they relate to Greater London, to the Greater London Authority (“the Authority”).
