Scottish Parliament

Most aspects of housing are devolved matters meaning that the Holyrood government has responsibility for them via the Scottish Parliament. SAL has an important role representing both landlords and agents (via our Council of Letting Agents policy group) on the many committees and forums that feed into policy.
