The total number of prefab units that have been rented/purchased by county each year since 2011, is attached for the Deputy's attention. It should be noted that a prefab unit may consist of one or more classrooms and/or ancillary accommodation.

As the Deputy may be aware since July 2008, it is policy to offer schools being approved for devolved grant aid for additional accommodation the option to use their capital grant aid to build a permanent classroom(s) rather than purchase a prefab.
