Section 25 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987 lists categories of persons who, if homeless, have a priority need for accommodation and for whom the local authority have a duty to secure accommodation if they are unintentionally homeless. This Order adds a further category, namely persons under 21 who, at any time since reaching school leaving age, have been subject to specified care arrangements involving a local authority but are no longer subject to such care arrangements. The care arrangements in question are specified at article 2(2)(b) of the Order.
