This Order amends the power to make orders and regulations in the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 (“the 2001 Act”). The amendment is consequential to the amendment made to the 2001 Act by section 153(b) of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2010.

Section 153(b) of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2010 amends section 109(6) of the 2001 Act, with the effect that orders to be made under section 16(5A)(c) of the 2001 Act are included in the list of orders and regulations subject to affirmative procedure. Article 2 of this Order amends section 109(4) of the 2001 Act so that orders to be made under section 16(5A)(c) are also excluded from the list of orders and regulations subject to negative procedure.
