Share Your Views On FOI Extension
SFHA is concerned that the intention is to include RSL subsidiaries under the scope of extension depending on the services provided - we are seeking input from members ahead of the consultation closing.

SFHA is concerned that the intention is to include RSL subsidiaries under the scope of extension depending on the services provided. As highlighted in our response to the earlier Scottish Government consultation, RSL subsidiaries are purely commercial entities, and SFHA has argued against their inclusion for this reason.
