Yes it is subsidiced, per capita expenditure on a scot is more than all the other regions combined (wales, England and N.Ireland). English taxpayers do subsidise their scottish counterparts. I can't remember the specifics but i read an article on this in the economist (www.economist.com) if you are interested you will find the article there but i think you'll have to subscribe to retrive that article.
no, read up on the McCrone report.
Although this is true it must be remembered that Scotland owns large supplies of oil in the North Sea.
- The suggestion that each Scot receives more than each English, Welsh and Northern Irish person added together is ridiculous. According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnett_formula) the actual figures for 2006/7 were England £7,121, Wales £8,139, Scotland £8,623 and Northern Ireland £9,385. I don't know whether that's exactly correct, but it's a great deal more plausible than the suggestion above.
No, Scotland subsidizes the UK. Scotland's population makes up 8.6% of the UK yet raises 10.41% of ALL UK Tax Revenue.
