Question
To ask the Scottish Executive what advice has been given to local authorities currently conducting feasibility studies into stock transfer as to the future status of the tenancy of their tenants after a successful stock transfer.
Answer
This is set out in the booklet "New Housing Partnerships, the future for Scotland's communities" which was issued to all councils in June 1998. A copy has been placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre. The Housing Green Paper sought views on the case for legislation to create a single social tenancy; we are currently considering the responses.
