Sections 12, 17 and 27 of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (“the 1996 Act”) set out the purposes for which grants for the renewal of private sector housing may be given. The Secretary of State has the power under sections 12(1)(i), 17(1)(j) and 27(1)(j) to specify other purposes by order. This power is now exercisable in relation to Wales by the National Assembly for Wales.
