Local Government (Capital Budget)

6. Gil Paterson (Clydebank and Milngavie) (SNP): 
To ask the Scottish Government what allocation of its budget has been given to local government for capital spending. (S5O-00544)

The Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Constitution (Derek Mackay): 
I can confirm that the total local government capital funding allocation for 2017-18 will amount to £756.5 million. That represents an increase of almost £150 million or nearly 25 per cent compared with 2016-17.

Gil Paterson: 
Recent reports have said that schools down south that were built using the private finance initiative and public-private partnerships are being ripped off through the costs of teaching supplies as those supplies form part of the PFI/PPP agreement. Are any schools in Scotland that were built using PFI/PPP in a similar position? If so, what is the cost?

Derek Mackay: 
I can confirm that none of the standard contracts that were previously used for schools PFI/PPP deals included the cost of school teaching supplies.
