Question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether the new social landlords proposed under the New Housing Partnerships Programme will have to be incorporated as Industrial and Provident Societies, to become Registered Social Landlords.
Answer
Social landlords receiving funds under the 1999-2002 New Housing Partnerships bidding round are required to become Registered Social Landlords with Scottish Homes. Registered Social Landlords may be either Industrial and Provident Societies or companies, but are required by Scottish Homes to meet the same registration criteria including being non-profit distributing.
