"New figures show 474 of Scotland’s 2,514 primaries, secondaries and special schools have not been inspected since 2008."

Housing Minister Kevin Stewart says the government is committed to increasing the supply of housing.
Infrastructure provision can delay delivery, he accepts, but work is ongoing to address this.
The Planning Bill is designed to improve coordination, he adds.
Mr Rowley suggests the Planning Bill "does nothing to address one of the main barriers" - the lack of infrastructure.
Mr Stewart points to the housing infrastructure fund.
Labour MSP Alex Rowley asks the government what its position is on whether lack of initial infrastructure investment is a barrier to new housing developments.
