Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to its consultation in 2017 on updating the School Premises (General Requirements and Standards) (Scotland) Regulations 1967, whether it still plans to update these regulations, and, if so, whether it will provide details of the anticipated timeframe.
Answer
It remains the Scottish Government’s intention to update the School Premises (General Requirements and Standards) (Scotland) Regulations 1967.
Given the time elapsed between the consultation that took place in 2017-18, we must now consider the updated context that the regulations exist in.
We are now taking this work forward and will re-consult on the Regulations in due course.
