Such a charge does not have priority over certain charges securing advances by bodies which are approved lending institutions for the purposes of section 156 of that Act.\nSuch bodies are also approved lending institutions for the purposes of section 36 of that Act (priority of charges on voluntary disposal by a local authority) and paragraph 2 of Schedule 2 to the Housing Associations Act 1985 (c. 69) (priority of charges on voluntary disposal by a housing association) dealing with voluntary disposals at a discount by local authorities and housing associations respectively.\nArticle 2 of this Order specifies seven additional bodies as approved lending institutions. Other bodies have been specified by previous Orders.",
