(This note is not part of the Order)
Under the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987 qualification for the right to purchase and entitlement to discount depend inter alia on occupation as a tenant of a house or of a succession of houses provided by the public sector landlords mentioned in section 61(11) of that Act. Paragraph (w) of section 61(11) states that in addition to the persons specifically mentioned in section 61(11) the Secretary of State may prescribe other persons by Order. This Order revokes the previous Order which prescribed “other persons” and prescribes another list of “other persons” which is basically the list in the previous Order with additions and changes bringing that list up to date. As before this Order includes Ministers of the Crown not already mentioned for the specific purposes set out in paragraph (m), (o), (p), (q), (t) or (v) of section 61(11).
