Scottish Social Housing Charter
Item 4 is consideration of the Scottish social housing charter. Section 33 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2010 provides that the charter does not have effect unless it is approved by a resolution of the Parliament. The committee is therefore considering the charter in accordance with rule 10.10 of standing orders, in the same way as it would consider an instrument that is subject to the affirmative procedure.
No points have been raised by our legal advisers on the charter, which is document SG/2017/2. Is the committee content with it?
Members indicated agreement.
