My officials have recently met on a number of occasions with other members of the Empty Homes Initiative Advisory Group to assess bids for funding under the Initiative. The Advisory Group includes two Scottish local government representatives nominated by the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities.
From 1 July 1999, this will be a matter for the Scottish Parliament.
