"Previously entitled 'Hughes and Lowe: Social Housing Law and Policy', this new edition covers the changes in statute and case law since the publication of the last edition in 1995, the chief of these being the Housing Act 1996. Housing is set to become an increasingly important issue under a Labour government and a new professionalism will be required in all those involved in the provision and management of housing. This book will be of great assistance to all housing professionals and to students of housing law."
