Question
To ask the Scottish Government what information it holds on how many key workers are living in tied accommodation, broken down by (a) local authority and (b) NHS board area.
Answer
The Scottish Government does not hold this information.
Unlike the mainstream rental sector, people who live in accommodation tied to their employment do not have a tenancy agreement such as the Private Residential Tenancy. Instead their rental conditions are included as part of the individual terms of their employment.
No information is held by the Scottish Government on those living in tied accommodation in Scotland.
