Summary

Under Section 87(2) of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, the Secretary of State is required to consult representatives of local government and relevant professional bodies before making new directions and determinations, or before varying existing directions and determinations.

The purpose of the letter is to notify you of the start of consultation on the amending determination and accounting directions. These documents are available to download below. 

Various items of published guidance concerning the HRA are being changed or updated, particularly the stock valuation guidance. The current direction in force is the Housing Revenue Account (Accounting Practices) Direction 2000, and the Department wishes to update that document to reflect this and other changes that are proposed for 2006-2007.

Please send your comments no later than 5pm Thursday 7 December 2006 to:
