This Order brings section 8 of the Housing and Planning Act 1986 into force on 5th April 1989. Section 8 provides for the provisions of Part V of the Housing Act 1985 (c. 68) (the right to buy) to continue to apply where a person ceases to be a secure tenant of a dwelling-house because the landlord has disposed of an interest in that dwelling-house in certain circumstances.
