Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 (Transfer of Scottish Homes Property and Liabilities) Order 2005 (SSI 2005/439)
I call the meeting to order and open the 24th meeting in 2005 of the Communities Committee. As usual, I remind all those present that mobile phones should be switched off.
Item 1 is the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 (Transfer of Scottish Homes Property and Liabilities) Order 2005 (SSI 2005/439), which was laid on 9 September and is subject to the negative procedure.
The purpose of the order is to complete the transfer of all outstanding assets and liabilities from Scottish Homes to the Scottish ministers, as described in part 4 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001. Once the instrument comes into force, the final accounts for Scottish Homes will be prepared and arrangements made to wind up its business by 31 December 2005. Members have been provided with a copy of the order and the explanatory note. Do members have any comments? If not, is the committee content with the order?
Members indicated agreement.
The committee has indicated that it is content, so it will not make any recommendation in its report to the Parliament on the order. Do members agree that we report to the Parliament on our decision on the order?
Members indicated agreement.
