The question

To ask the Scottish Executive what safeguards are in place to prevent loss of playing fields as a result of school rebuilding schemes carried out under public private partnerships.

The answer

Answered by Peter Peacock on 30 Sep 2004

Regulations already govern the minimum area of school playing fields according to the size of the school roll. In addition, there are safeguards under the planning system where redevelopment of playing fields is proposed. These arrangements apply regardless of the procurement arrangements.
