HC Deb 17 October 2001 vol 372 cc1260-1W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much has been paid at current prices by HM Treasury to the Scottish Executive outside the block grant since 1 July 1999; and if he will place in the Library a list of all the major items included in that additional expenditure. [7781]

Mr. Andrew Smith

Nothing—all funding by the Government of the Scottish Executive since 1 July 1999 has been by means of the block grant.
