s 7B Limit on local authority appointments to board
(1) No appointment within subsection (2) may be made to the board of a registered social landlord on or after the day on which this section comes into force. (2) An appointment is within this subsection if its effect, but for this section, would be that more than 24 per cent of the board members of the registered social landlord would be local authority appointees. (3) To the extent that any provision in the constitution or rules of a registered social landlord would, but for this subsection, conflict with subsection (1) or (2), that provision is to be treated as having no effect.
