Education, Children and Young People Committee [Draft]

Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill

Meeting date: 27 November 2024

Douglas Ross

We are talking about £5 million across the whole of Scotland, out of a Scottish Government budget of, I think, over £40 billion.

You are fine—the microphone comes on automatically.

Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill

Meeting date: 27 November 2024

We could compare personal reflections on that. Will you meet your manifesto commitment of renewing every play park across Scotland in this parliamentary session?

Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill

Meeting date: 27 November 2024

Douglas Ross

Have you asked the Welsh Government, at ministerial level or official level, how it is able to provide universal coverage when only 15 of the 32 of our local authorities are signed up to the EVOLVEvisits system?

It is on those figures.

Meeting date: 27 November 2024

For absolute clarity, the buildings have not not been touched since that time—they have had upgrades. They maybe need more, but I do not think that we can say on the record that they have not been touched since 1939.

Are you finished, Mr Adam?

Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill

Meeting date: 27 November 2024

Before we bring in Ms Kearns, how do you think that your Government is doing? You made a manifesto commitment to renew all play parks in Scotland in this session of Parliament. How are you doing?

Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill

Meeting date: 27 November 2024

Douglas Ross

Aberdeenshire Council’s spend on play parks reduced by 86 per cent from 2018-19 to 2022-23, and Glasgow City Council reduced its spend by 68 per cent over the same period. Is that the way that you renew all play parks?

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 27 November 2024

Douglas Ross

Has Disclosure Scotland done projections on how many additional people that could involve? If the Government does not have those figures, do you have those figures?
