On 12 December 2007, the Government announced a review of council housing finance to:
"develop a sustainable, long term system for financing council housing, one that is consistent with wider housing policy, including the establishment of a regulator of social housing."
On 30 June 2009, the Minister for Housing announced the outcome, stating that he intended to:
"dismantle the housing revenue account subsidy system and replace it with a devolved system of responsibility and funding."
