Housing and Regeneration Bill

I accept that the standards defined in subsection (2)(a), (b) and (c) are quite rightly core standards. When I referred to the powers being rather broad, I was interpreting the words ““in the Secretary of State’s opinion”” in subsection (2). I do not understand why the word ““opinion”” is there. If the clause is to address those standards, it should say so; it should not leave it open to a particular Secretary of State’s opinion.
