The below Parliamentary question was asked by Cathy Jamieson on 2014-03-26.

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what discussions the Government has had with the Scottish Government on the introduction of a Right to Move scheme for social tenants.

David Mundell

Neither my Rt hon Friend the Secretary of State nor I have met with the Scottish Government to discuss the introduction of a Right to Move scheme for social tenants. Under the terms of devolution responsibility for housing, and that of social housing is the responsibility of Scottish Government Ministers. HomeSwap Direct however, does operate across the United Kingdom for those tenants wishing to mutually exchange within the social housing sphere.
