That is very helpful.

We will move on, because of the time, and unleash the questions on data. I think that everybody is keen to get more detail on that.

Housing (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 11 June 2024

Ariane Burgess

Let us just see whether those come out in our questions, but that is helpful. You have gone into a space that I was going to ask about, so perhaps I could pick that up. You went into quite a bit of detail on the bill. I would be interested to hear from our other witnesses on that. The intention behind the Scottish Government’s bill is to introduce a package of reforms to ensure that

“people have a safe, secure, and affordable place to live”.

I would be interested to hear to what extent you think the bill delivers on those aims. Perhaps Professor Gibb could start.

Thanks very much for that. Aoife Deery will come in shortly, but first I would like to ask you all for your comments on the extent to which the bill delivers the Government’s stated aim of people having

“a safe, secure, and affordable place to live”.

My second question is on an aspect that Eilidh Keay started to touch on. I will put that into the mix so that you can pick it up, too. It is about how well you think the bill balances the rights of tenants and those of landlords.

Do you have a sense of whether the bill balances the rights of tenants with the rights of landlords?
