  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nUnder section 144 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 taking a prescribed step only has effect if the person taking it has given notice to the Regulator of Social Housing. Under section 145 of the Act a moratorium, which prevents a registered provider of social housing making any disposals of land without consent of the Regulator of Social Housing, begins when a prescribed step is taken. This Order prescribes the steps for the purposes of those provisions as any step to enforce a security over land held by a registered provider of social housing.\nAn impact assessment has not been produced, because no impact on the costs of business, the public sector, third sector organisations, regulators or consumers is foreseen. An Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared and is available alongside the instrument on the OPSI website at www.opsi.gov.uk.",
