Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide (a) an update on how much of the £10 million fund made available to local authorities for active ventilation in classrooms has been spent and (b) details of how the funding has been spent, broken down by local authority area.
Answer
The Scottish Government confirmed a total of £10m funding allocations to local authorities in its grant letter on 14 October 2021. The funding allocations for all local authorities have been agreed and grant payments will be made in line with standard processes and timelines. Local authorities have confirmed that they have been progressing their purchases of CO2 monitors on the basis of confirmed funding allocations. We have requested formal confirmation by the end of November that all funding provided has been, or will be, used for the specified purposes.
