Textual Amendments
F1S. 68A and cross-heading inserted (29.1.2006) by Housing (Scotland) Act 2006 (asp 1), ss. 177, 195(3) (with s. 193); S.S.I. 2006/14, art. 2

(1)This subsection applies where—
(a)a local authority has disposed of an interest in land to a registered social landlord (“RSL 1”) under section 12 of the 1987 Act before the date on which this section came into force,
(b)sections 191 to 193 and section 203(1) of the 1987 Act no longer apply to that local authority by virtue of an order made under section 94 of this Act,
(c)the Scottish Ministers are satisfied that it is appropriate for RSL 1 to authorise another registered social landlord to exercise any of RSL 1's housing management functions if RSL 1 is to manage its houses in a manner which is consistent with the spirit of any notice served on tenants for the purposes of paragraph 3(2) or (3) of schedule 9 in relation to the disposal, and
(d)less than 5 years have passed since this section came into force.
(2)Where subsection (1) applies, the Scottish Ministers may direct RSL 1 to authorise another registered social landlord (“RSL 2”) to exercise such of RSL 1's housing management functions as may be specified in the direction in place of RSL 1 on such terms, if any, as may be so specified; and both RSL 1 and RSL 2 must comply with the direction.
(3)RSL 1 may not, while a direction under subsection (2) remains in force, authorise any person other than RSL 2 to exercise any functions specified in the direction.
(4)A direction made under subsection (2) must be published in such manner as the Scottish Ministers think fit.
(5)Any authorisation given in pursuance of a direction made under subsection (2) continues to have effect for so long as the direction has effect.
(6)A direction made under subsection (2) continues to have effect notwithstanding the fact that the power to make that direction has expired by virtue of subsection (1)(d).
(7)In this section “housing management functions” means functions relating to the management of houses.]
