An updated list of statutory managers has been published by the Scottish Housing Regulator.

The Regulator updated its list of individuals it will select from when making statutory appointments to social landlords following an open selection process. The Regulator developed the list to be open and transparent about the people it will select if it has to make an appointment to a social landlord.

The list will be in place for three years, and will be kept under review. The Regulator can appoint a statutory manager when it judges that this is the most proportionate way to tackle identified risks, and protect the interests of tenants and other service users.

Michael Cameron, Chief Executive of the Regulator said: "Tenants, other service users and stakeholders need to have confidence that we will intervene when we need to when it is the right thing to do. We appoint a statutory manager to a social landlord in the most serious circumstances only.

"Each person on the list has the experience, skills and knowledge required for the role. We developed the list with a clear and appropriate balance on quality and cost."
