§ 21A.—(1) The local authority for any area in which there are dwellings provided by a housing association to which at the passing of this Act an order under section 80 of the Housing Finance Act 1972 (power to apply to certain housing associations provisions of Act relating to local authorities) applies shall have the same powers and be under the same duties in relation to the determination of rents for those dwellings as are conferred or imposed, in relation to dwellings provided by the authority themselves, by sections 111 and 113 of the Housing Act 1957, as amended by section 1 above.
§ (2) Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, it shall be the duty of the association to charge any rent determined by the local authority under this paragraph.
§ (3) So long as any order under section 11 of the Counter-Inflation Act 1973 relating to rents of such a housing association is in force, nothing in sub-paragraph (2) above shall authorise the charging of any rent which would not be authorised by the order.
§ (4) In relation to the determination of rents under sub-paragraph (1) above, a local authority shall have the same powers and be under the same duties in relation to any separate account of income and expenditure in their area which an order under the said section 80 requires such an association to keep as are conferred or imposed on them in relation to their Housing Revenue Account by section 1(3) of this Act.

§ (2) Such an order shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.
§ (3) Section 80 of the Housing Finance Act 1972 is repealed, but its repeal shall not affect the validity of any order under it, and any such order shall accordingly continue in force subject to sub-paragraph (4) below.
§ (4) An order which is continued in force by sub-paragraph (3) above may be varied or revoked by an order under this paragraph.
§ (5) The powers of variation conferred by sub-paragraph (4) above includes power to make any provision which could have been made by an order under section 80 of the Housing Finance Act 1972'.—[Mr. Freeson.]
