answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>Section 74(1) of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 requires local housing authorities to keep a Housing Revenue Account (HRA) if they provide homes under Part II of the Housing Act 1985, subject to a direction by the Secretary of State. This means that any homes a local authority provides under Part II, including those for market rent or sale, should sit within the Housing Revenue Account unless the Secretary of State issues a direction to exclude them. Whilst no direction has been made for homes for market rent or market sale, we do not believe that local authorities routinely use their HRA to hold such homes.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 20/11/2018 17:27:09 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 85725 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
