  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations revoke the Allocation of Housing and Homelessness (Review Procedures and Amendment) Regulations 1996, with a saving for outstanding requests for a review, and replace them with amended provisions for reviews under section 164 of the Housing Act 1996 (“the Act”) (review of an adverse decision in relation to a local housing authority’s housing register) and section 202 of the Act (review of a decision following a homelessness application under Part VII of the Act).\nThe principal change made by these Regulations is that Part III (homelessness) includes specific provision for reviews of a decision under section 198(5) of the Act (whether, following an application made under Part VII of the Act, the conditions are met for referral of a case to another local housing authority), following the coming into force of the Homelessness (Decisions on Referrals) Order 1998.",
