(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Homeless Persons (Unsuitable Accommodation) (Scotland) (Modification and Revocation) (Coronavirus) Order 2021 (“the previous Order”).
Article 2 of this Order substitutes a new expiry date into Article 1 of the previous Order so that Article 2 of the previous Order expires on 30 September 2021 rather than 30 June 2021.
This means that the modifications of the Homeless Persons (Unsuitable Accommodation) (Scotland) Order 2014 made by Article 2 of the previous Order continue in effect until 30 September 2021.
1987 c.26. Subsections (3) and (4) of section 29 were inserted by section 9(1)(b) of the Homelessness etc. (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 10). There are amendments to section 29 that are not relevant to this Order.
