As indicated in the answer given to question S1W-13602, the proposals for a Tenement Bill will require to be redrafted in the light of the Title Conditions (Scotland) Bill as it is passed by Parliament. Some technical redrafting has already occurred, and it is likely that more will be required once the Title Conditions Bill is passed. As intimated in the answer given to question S1W-14294, we hope to bring the Title Conditions Bill before Parliament as soon as an opportunity arises in the legislative programme. It is envisaged that a Tenement Bill will be introduced after the Title Conditions Bill is passed, but it is impossible to predict an exact date as it will depend upon legislative time being found. The updated version of the Tenements (Scotland) Bill is available on the Scottish Law Commission's website at http://www.scotlawcom.gov.uk/index-1.htm
