The question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will publish a timetable for the consideration of and response to the Scottish Law Commission's Report on Tenement Law: Compulsory Owners’ Associations (Scot Law Com No. 270), including any plans for a draft Tenements (Amendment) (Scotland) Bill, and whether it will commit to providing regular updates to Parliament on progress towards implementation.
The answer
I am grateful to the Scottish Law Commission (SLC) for its detailed report and recommendations. My officials are currently in the early stages of this work, giving sufficient time to explore issues raised in the SLC report as well as engaging with key stakeholders on potential next steps.The Scottish Government recognises the importance of ensuring that tenement buildings are properly maintained, and that owners are supported to plan for and fund repairs.The Scottish Government is not in a position to provide a timetable for this work at this time. However, I can commit to providing regular updates to Parliament as this work progresses.
