Abstract

Section 69 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987 gives the Secretary of State the power to authorise landlords of secure tenants to refuse to sell certain houses provided for persons of pensionable age which otherwise a tenant would be entitled to purchase under the right to buy provisions of the Act. This circular describes the provisions of section 69 and the information the Secretary of State requires to decide whether to authorise a landlord to issue a notice of refusal, and sets out the procedures which should be followed in making an application.
