I propose to take Questions Nos. 193 and 194 together.

I wish to advise the Deputy that the Summer Works Scheme (SWS) is designed to allow schools, on a devolved funding basis, to carry out necessary improvement and refurbishment works that will upgrade existing school facilities including play areas.

It is open to school authorities to apply under the next Summer Works Scheme which will open for applications in 2019 for projects to be delivered from summer 2020.
