(2)In drawing up their proposals the Scottish Ministers—
(a)must consult—
(i)the landlord and, so far as is practicable, its tenants, and
(ii)where the landlord is an industrial and provident society, the Financial Services Authority, and
(b)must have regard to the interests of all the landlord’s creditors, both secured and unsecured.
(3)No proposals are to be made under which—
(a)a preferential debt (within the meaning of the Insolvency Act 1986 (c.45)) of the landlord is to be paid otherwise than in priority to debts which are not preferential debts, or
(b)a preferential creditor (within the meaning of that Act) is to be paid a smaller proportion of that creditor’s preferential debt than another preferential creditor, except with the concurrence of the creditor concerned.
