To ask the Scottish Executive whether it has made an assessment of any additional costs to centrally funded further and higher education institutions as a result of the climate change levy and whether it will detail any such costs.
Answer
No. The Scottish Further and Higher Education Funding Councils are responsible for allocating public funding to Scotland's further and higher education institutions, and they do this with reference to levels of relevant activity rather than specific itemised costs.
