This legislative order establishes the statutory limit on the aggregate amount of advances that may be made to the Scottish Special Housing Association. The document originates from the legislative authority of the United Kingdom government, specifically addressing the financial constraints imposed on public housing entities during the 1980 fiscal period. It serves as a formal instrument to regulate the capital funding available for housing development and management in Scotland.

Legal professionals and historians of British public policy view this document as a standard administrative instrument for fiscal oversight. It is primarily utilized as a reference point for tracking the evolution of public housing funding in Scotland during the late twentieth century.
