Scottish Government buildings are taken to be those maintained under the Scottish Government's Facilities Management contract as well as those maintained separately by SASA (Science & Advice for Scottish Agriculture) and ARE (Agriculture and Rural Economy Directorate).
Investigations have disclosed that:
- all SG buildings maintained through the Facilities Management contract are compliant (74 buildings);
- all SASA buildings are compliant (one headquarters building and twelve dwellings); and
- all ARE buildings are compliant (one headquarters building and four dwellings).
The answers to your questions are therefore:
