Abstract
This paper outlines the new framework emerging under a devolved Scottish Parliament to monitor and review the provision of housing with particular reference to racial discrimination and disadvantage. The broader context of housing rights reflected in international and regional obligations is described as well as the influence of the Council of Europe and the European Union. The housing circumstances of ethnic minority communities is established and the actual and potential roles of three key agencies explored, the Scottish Executive, the Commission for Racial Equality and Scottish Homes. The paper concludes by suggesting that the parallel concerns of social inclusion, human rights and racial equality would benefit from a more coherent bridging mechanism than now apparent with a Scottish Human Rights Commission being a possible solution.
