§ Mr. PortilloIdentifiable general Government expenditure per head in Scotland in 1992–93, the latest year for which information is available, was £3,968. The equivalent figure in England was £3,290. The total difference in public expenditure between the two countries, on this basis, was therefore some £3.5 billion.
