The question

To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will only approve large-scale stock transfers proposals subject to guaranteed speedy progress to second stage transfers to community-based registered social landlords as recommended in the 3rd Report, 2000 of the Social Inclusion, Housing and Voluntary Sector Committee, Housing Stock Transfer, and, if so, what its definition of "guaranteed speedy progress" will be.

The answer

Answered by Margaret Curran on 27 Sep 2001 · 28 days after it was lodged, on time

As indicated in the Scottish Executive's response to that report, we will examine business plans to assess whether they deliver further choices to tenants for more localised solutions which are best suited to individual transfer proposals, taking account of tenants' views.
