Original Note:
The “more” in the statement refers only to an earlier period. The increase was driven by higher tax revenue from North Sea fossil fuel drilling. It ignores the fact that, despite this, Scotland still runs at a net deficit compared to the rest of the Uk. https://www.deliveringforscotland.gov.uk/scotland-in-the-uk/public-spending/#:~:text=Block%20Grant%20funding%20for%20the,126%20per%20person%20in%20Scotland.
