To ask the Scottish Executive how much of the #1 billion to rebuild and refurbish schools was made available to (a) Argyll and Bute Council and (b) West Dunbartonshire Council.
In June 2002 we offered financial support to 15 local authorities to enable them to take forward school public private partnership (PPP) projects with a total capital investment value of £1.195 billion. Argyll and Bute Council's share of that figure is £80 million. West Dunbartonshire Council have not submitted a bid for financial support for a school PPP project.
