The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will grant additional capital borrowing consent to Angus Council to enable it to bring St. Vigeans Primary School building up to modern day standards.
The answer
The annual allocation to local authorities of consent to incur capital expenditure is a general consent for expenditure on their non-housing capital programmes, including education. The consent is distributed amongst authorities on the basis of a formula agreed with COSLA, and is neither programme nor project specific. The local authorities are themselves responsible for prioritising work on particular school building projects from the overall resources available to them.
