§ Mr. Raymond S. RobertsonMinisters regularly meet organisations concerned with housing in Scotland. This year I have met, among others, a number of local authority housing conveners, the housing committee of the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities, the chairman and members of the board of Scottish Homes, and representatives from the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations, Shelter (Scotland), the Chartered Institute of Housing and various private developers and lenders. I have also visited a number of local authorities and housing associations and participated in a number of events related to housing. Further meetings and engagements are planned for the remainder of the year.
