A bubbly type of concrete at risk of collapsing has been found in 35 schools, Scotland’s Education Minister Jenny Gilruth confirmed on Friday.

It comes after more than 100 schools in England were told to shut all or part of their buildings because of the presence of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC), a lightweight concrete used between the 1950s to the mid-1990s.
