26
This section allows the Scottish Ministers (under subsection (2)) to direct a local authority to carry out a further assessment of rent conditions and submit a further report to them where Ministers consider that a local authority’s periodic or interim assessment of rent conditions is inadequate, or that the local authority did not follow Ministers’ guidance in carrying out the assessment or preparing its subsequent report.
