HC Deb 19 November 2001 vol 375 c78W
Mrs. Lait

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will list, in real terms, for each year since 1979(a) the total sums of money spent directly by her Department in Scotland and (b) the total sums of money allocated by her Department for spending in Scotland through (i) the Scottish Office, (ii) the Scotland Office and (iii) the Scottish Executive. [16180]

Mr. Morley

The Department has only been in existence for a few months, so does not have such historical information. Attempting to construct it retrospectively would involve disproportionate cost.
