This Order contains amendments of enactments in consequence of the coming into force of sections 140(1) to (4), including all provisions of Schedule 16, and 141 of the Government of Wales Act 1998 whereby the functions of Housing for Wales were transferred to the Secretary of State.

The amendments preserve the status and rights of tenants of residential dwellings which are acquired and/or disposed of by the Secretary of State in the exercise of functions which were previously exercised by Housing for Wales.
