  • The proposed Measure will also provide Welsh Ministers with enhanced regulatory and intervention powers concerning the provision of housing by Registered Social Landlords.

Following agreement by the National Assembly of the text of the proposed Measure, it received Royal Approval on 10 May 2011. The proposed Measure is now a Measure of the National Assembly (a Welsh law).
