New 'league tables' of housing providers based

Consideration to scrapping of the current
'serious detriment' test, to allow 'Ofsted-style' tougher consumer regulation

·
Ditching of plans to force social landlords to
offer fixed term tenancies rather than lifetime tenancies in social housing
·
Ditching of plans to force councils to sell off
their most valuable social housing when it becomes vacant
·
The potential introduction a new stock transfer
programme from councils to 'community-led' housing associations
·
