THE Scottish Government will introduce emergency legislation at Holyrood next week to freeze rents and ban evictions - and the bill is likely to be passed in just three days.
The Scottish Parliament’s business bulletin shows a motion will be voted on that would make the Cost of Living (Protection of Tenants) (Scotland) Bill emergency legislation – expediting the process of the legislation passage.
If MSPs vote in favour of the motion, the parliamentary schedule suggests stage one proceedings will take place on Tuesday afternoon, with a committee of the whole Parliament conducting stage two proceedings on Wednesday before a final vote on Thursday.
