# The Social Landlords (Permissible Additional Purposes) (England) Order 2006, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 2 of the Housing Act 1996 specifies the three types of body that are eligible for registration as a social landlord and the conditions of eligibility. For those social landlords which are societies registered under the Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1965 and companies registered under the Companies Act 1985, it is a condition of eligibility that their purposes or objects are restricted to those set out in section 2. Section 2(7) allows the Secretary of State to add to those purposes or objects.
This Order adds to those purposes or objects the provision, construction, improvement or management of caravan sites for gypsies and travellers, and the provision of services to those sites.
Article 3 of the Order defines “caravan” for the purposes of the Order.
