Section 346B: Model schemes and confirmation of schemes.

Housing Act 1985 · 1985 c. 68View on legislation.gov.uk

Part XI: HOUSES IN MULTIPLE OCCUPATION

The Secretary of State may prepare model registration schemes.

Model registration schemes may be prepared with or without control provisions (see section 347) or special control provisions (see section 348B); and different model schemes may be prepared for different descriptions of authorities and for different areas.

A registration scheme which conforms to a model scheme—

does not require confirmation by the Secretary of State, and
comes into force on such date (at least one month after the making of the scheme) as may be specified in the scheme.

Any other registration scheme does not come into force unless and until confirmed by the Secretary of State.

The Secretary of State may if he thinks fit confirm such a scheme with or without modifications.

A scheme requiring confirmation shall not come into force before it has been confirmed but, subject to that, comes into force on such date as may be specified in the scheme or, if no date is specified, one month after it is confirmed.
