Rejected petition Stop the government spending far more per person in Scotland than in England

More details

The Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses reveal that over £10,000 more is currently spent per person in Scotland than in England, the equivalent of 19 per cent. Civil servants working for Alex Salmond revealed the difference between expenditure and taxes in Scotland between 2009-10 was £14 billion. This is blatantly unfair, and Westminster should act immediately to assess this to get a fair deal for all the citizens of the UK whom they are meant to represent.
