I had, in what can only be a crazed moment of tiredness, thought it might avoid that section. But of course it wouldn't. Post edited accordingly.

"4. Accommodation for homeless persons A tenancy granted in pursuance of any function under Part VII of the Housing Act 1996 (homelessness) is not a secure tenancy unless the local housing authority concerned have notified the tenant that the tenancy is to be regarded as a secure tenancy" If a tenancy granted in pursuance of such provisions can't be regarded as secure, then I'm sure that a licence in pursuance of the same provisions similarly couldn't be regarded as secure...

“4. Accommodation for homeless persons
A tenancy granted in pursuance of any function under Part VII of the Housing Act 1996 (homelessness) is not a secure tenancy unless the local housing authority concerned have notified the tenant that the tenancy is to be regarded as a secure tenancy”

If a tenancy granted in pursuance of such provisions can’t be regarded as secure, then I’m sure that a licence in pursuance of the same provisions similarly couldn’t be regarded as secure…
