Social Justice and Social Security Committee

Social Security (Amendment) (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 7 March 2024

Marie McNair

Richard Gass, you seemed to want to say something earlier about how the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland is operating in relation to the Scottish benefits. I believe that you were cut off. You can come in on that briefly, if you want.

Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee 5 March 2024

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 5 March 2024

Marie McNair

I declare an interest, in that I was a councillor in West Dunbartonshire Council until 2022.

Good morning, minister and officials. The consultation in December included other proposals that are not being taken forward at this time, and COSLA has concerns that the Government still intends to do further work on those. What are the Scottish Government’s plans on those proposals and on any wider review of capital finance accounting?

Good morning. Do you think that rent service Scotland and the tribunal will have the capacity to deal with the potential number of challenges to rent increases that the proposals might bring?

Social Justice and Social Security Committee

Housing and Refugees

Meeting date: 29 February 2024

Marie McNair

Can you explain why the 28-day period should be longer and what the advantages and disadvantages are of extending that?

Housing and Refugees

Meeting date: 29 February 2024

Marie McNair

Good morning, panel. I really appreciate your time this morning. I will focus on homelessness services. What is your experience of the impact on statutory homelessness services? Are the issues dependent on the type of refugee status a person and/or family can have?

Maybe Graham O’Neill could start.

Can you highlight good practice in local authorities when it comes to rehoming refugees?

You could perhaps follow up with a written submission, Mr O’Neill.

Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee

Housing to 2040

Meeting date: 27 February 2024

Marie McNair

I am an MSP for the Clydebank and Milngavie constituency.

Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee

Housing to 2040

Meeting date: 27 February 2024

Marie McNair

Just before I do so, I declare an interest as a former councillor, up until 2022. That will be applicable to discussions later in the agenda.

In your experience, how well are the Scottish Government and those responsible for working to achieve the housing to 2040 aims including local communities, tenants and residents in delivery plans? Given that Stephen Connor talked earlier about the importance of tenants being at the table, he might be best placed to kick off responses. Secondly, are outcomes improving for communities, tenants and residents?
