Current status: Answered by Mairi McAllan on 11 March 2026
To ask the Scottish Government what statutory powers and operational functions the new housing agency, More Homes Scotland, will exercise; whether it will have borrowing powers or the ability to directly commission, develop or own housing stock, and what assessment it has made of potential duplication of functions with existing housing bodies or local authorities.
More Homes Scotland is in its design phase: its powers and functions will be confirmed once this work is complete. I refer the Member to the answer to question S6W-43955 on 11 March 2026.
I will update Parliament in March on the ongoing process to design the agency’s functions and operating model.
