Welcome to the web pages of the Working Group on Housing (Scotland) Act Implementation. This page gives some background information on the Working Group and provides links to the work of the Group.

The Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 received Royal Assent on 18 July 2001. Part 2 of the Act contained a significant package of reform in respect of tenancy rights in the social rented sector, including a modernised right to buy and improved arrangements for tenant involvement.

Ministers agreed to the establishment of a working group to act as a sounding board in developing the detailed arrangements to support implementation of Part II of the Act. Other part of the Act will be taken forward separately.

The working group is chaired by the Scottish Executive and comprises key housing sector interests including tenant organisations. The group has convened three sub-groups to look more closely at the Scottish secure tenancy, the right to buy and tenant participation.

All papers of this Group and any sub group will appear on this site. This is to enable those affected by the changes to follow the developments first hand and contribute to the process.
