So far as I can see the article relates to measures which already exist and
have been in operation since 2006. If so, this is simply yet another cynical policy reannouncement
NOT a change in the law.
Quote:
since the orders were first introduced in 2006, they have been used just 20 times.
However Margaret Beckett, the Housing Minister, said she hoped that their use would increase as housing building has slowed in the recession.

I wonder if she's bothered to look into why only 20 orders have been made since 2006....
