Part of Renters (Reform) Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 2:45 pm on 28 November 2023.
“In section 209 of the Housing Act 1996 (interim accommodation in relation to which an assured tenancy will not normally arise), in subsection (1), after ‘190,’ insert ‘199A,’.”—
This new clause is consequential on the insertion of section 199A of the Housing Act 1996 by the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 and restricts the circumstances in which accommodation arranged in pursuance of that section can be an assured tenancy. The new clause is expected to be inserted into Chapter 2 of Part 1 of the Bill, after clause 21.
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
