Cole-Hamilton: Are classrooms with dangerous concrete still in use right now?

Speaking in the Scottish Parliament, Scottish Liberal Democrat Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:

“Months after I took this issue to the very top of the Scottish Government, there is still no central register of affected buildings, no strategy for the swift and wholesale replacement of this potentially deadly concrete and no national fund for cash-strapped schools, health boards and others landed with it.

“Mitigation and monitoring offers little reassurance when a concrete beam that was marked as safe collapsed, prompting the closure of schools across England.

“Can the Cabinet Secretary say with confidence today that pupils, patients and staff don’t have RAAC in the ceilings above them? And is it possible there are classrooms and wards with problem concrete still in use right now?”
