The National Assembly for Wales, in exercise of the powers conferred on the Secretary of State by sections 30 and 146(1) and (2) of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996[1] and now exercisable by the National Assembly for Wales in relation to Wales, hereby make the following Regulations: Title, commencement and application 1. —(1) The title of these Regulations is the Housing Renewal Grants (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2005 and they come into force on 30 September 2005. (2) These Regulations apply to applications for a grant made on or after 30 September 2005 to Local Housing Authorities in Wales. Interpretation 2. In these Regulations "the 1996 Regulations" means the Housing Renewal Grants Regulations 1996[2]. Amendment of the 1996 Regulations 3. —(1) The 1996 Regulations are amended as follows: (2) For regulation 5, substitute the following—
5. —(1) Subject to paragraph (2), in respect of any application for a grant a relevant person is any person who—
(b) is the partner, or a partner, of the disabled occupant or of one of the disabled occupants and is not a child or young person; and
is not the parent or guardian of a disabled child who lives or intends to live in the dwelling or, as the case may be, a flat in the building.
(This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations amend the Housing Renewal Grants Regulations 1996 ("the 1996 Regulations") which set out the means test for determining the amount of grant which may be paid by local housing authorities under Chapter I of Part I of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. Regulation 5 of the 1996 Regulations define a relevant person. These Regulations amend the definition of a relevant person to remove the means testing of those responsible for a disabled child or young person. These regulations apply to applications to Local Housing Authorities in Wales made on or after 30 September 2005. Notes: [1] 1996 c.53. The functions of the Secretary of State under sections 30 and 146(1) and (2) of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 are, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672).back
