We call on the Scottish Parliament's Infrastructure Committee to investigate the fitness for purpose of the Scottish Housing Regulator. The investigations should focus in particular on the failure of the SHR to ensure the application of due dilligence in the award of the £77 million contract in 2008 for housing in Dumfries & Stranaraer by the Dumfries and Galloway Housing Partnership to R & D Construction Limited.

The Committee is asked to consider instigating a judicial review into the actions of the SHR.
