§ Mr. Smallasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he intends to issue a consultation paper in connection with his review of the Scottish Rent Acts.
§ Mr. MillanThe consultation paper was issued today, and I have placed a copy in the Library of the House. The paper briefly describes conditions in the private rented sector of housing in Scotland and raises both general issues and questions of a more technical nature which have arisen on the Rent Acts. The document is written within the framework of existing policies and does not attempt to anticipate any conclusions which may result from the current review of housing policy and finance.
