§ Mr. Home RobertsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make it his policy that the proposed Scottish Homes organisation will not dispose of any housing stock to any private sector landlords without the consent of the tenant of each house involved in the proposed transfer.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonMy right hon. and learned Friend will ensure, through his use of his powers of consent in relation to disposals, that tenants of Scottish Homes are treated no less favourably than tenants of local authorities in relation to any proposal to dispose of houses, irrespective of whether the proposed disposal is to the private or public sector.
