transferred to the local authority.

2    (1)

The Secretary of State shall not entertain an application for his or her consent

to the disestablishment of an ALMO and a transfer of management to which

this Schedule applies unless the authority certify either—

(a)	that the requirements of paragraph 3 as to consultation have been

complied with, or

(b)	that the requirements of that paragraph as to consultation have been

complied with except in relation to tenants expected to have vacated

the dwelling-house in question before the transfer;

and the certificate shall be accompanied by a copy of the notices given by the

authority in accordance with that paragraph.

(2)	Where the certificate is in the latter form, the Secretary of State shall not

determine the application until the authority certify as regards the tenants

originally consulted—

(a)	that they have vacated the dwelling-house in question, or

(b)	that the requirements of paragraph 3 as to consultation have been

complied with;

and a certificate under sub-sub-paragraph (b) shall be accompanied by a copy

of the notices given by the authority in accordance with paragraph 3.

Requirements as to consultation

3    (1)

The requirements as to consultation referred to above are as follows.

(2)	The authority shall serve notice in writing on each tenant informing him or her

of—

(a)	such details of their proposal as the authority consider appropriate, but

including the identity of the person to whom the transfer is to be made;

(b)	the likely consequences of the transfer for the tenant, and

(c)	the effect of the provisions of this Schedule and informing the tenant

that he or she may, within such reasonable period as may be specified

in the notice, make representations to the authority.

(3)	The authority shall consider any representations made to them within that

period and shall serve a further written notice on the tenant informing him or

her—

(a)	of any significant changes in their proposal, and

(b)	that the tenant may within such period as is specified (which must be

at least 28 days after the service of the notice) communicate to the

Secretary of State his or her objection to the proposal,

and informing him or her of the effect of paragraph 4.

(4)	When a notice has been served under sub-paragraph (3) the authority shall

arrange a ballot of the tenants in accordance with sub-paragraph (5) to establish

whether or not the tenants wish the transfer to proceed.

(5)	The authority shall—

(a)	make arrangements for such person as they consider appropriate to

conduct the ballot in such manner as that person considers appropriate;

or

(b)	conduct the ballot themselves.

(6)	After the ballot has been held the authority shall serve a notice on each tenant

(whether or not he or she voted in the ballot) informing the tenant—

(a)	of the ballot result; and

(b)	if the authority intend to proceed with the transfer, that the tenant may

within 28 days after the service of the notice make representations to

the Secretary of State or (as the case may be) the Welsh Ministers.

Consent to be withheld if majority of tenants are opposed

4    (1)

The Secretary of State shall not give his or her consent if the result of a ballot

arranged under paragraph 3(4) shows that a majority of the tenants of the

dwelling-houses to which the application relates who voted in the ballot do not

wish the transfer to proceed; but this does not affect his or her general

discretion to refuse consent on grounds relating to whether a transfer has the

support of the tenants or on any other ground.

(2)	In making this decision the Secretary of State may have regard to any

information available to him or her; and the local authority shall give him or

her such information as to the representations made to them by tenants and

others; and other relevant matters, as he or she may require.’.
