Dear Sir or Madam,
     
     The Scottish Government received £34 million Barnett
Consequentials
     from HM Treasury in 2007-08 arising from new money to implement
the
     Aiming High for Disabled Children strategy in England. Under the
     Concordat, the Scottish Government has allocated that £34 million
     to local authorities as part of the GAE settlement.
     
     I would like to request the following information under the
Freedom
     of Information (Scotland) Act 2002:
     
     1. Please provide information which shows how much your local
     authority received as its allocated share of the £34million in:
     
     a) 2008-2009 and
     b) 2009-2010
     
     In responding to this request, please consider all relevant
     information which might accurately confirm the amount received,
     including information contained within documentation such as
     budgets and related papers; council and committee papers and
     minutes; correspondence between and among officers, or between
     officers and third parties; meeting papers; and any other
relevant
     papers and documents.
     
     2. Please provide all information - including information
contained
     within budgets and related papers; council and committee papers
and
     minutes; correspondence between and among officers, or between
     officers and third parties; meeting papers; and any other
relevant
     papers and documents - showing:
     
     a) how you intended to spend your allocated share of the
     £34million, and
     b) how you actually spent your allocated share of the £34
million.
     
     Please provide this information for both 2008-2009, and
2009-2010.
     
     If you need any clarification in relation to these requests,
please
     let me know.
     
     Yours faithfully,
     
     Kate Higgins (fSDC liaison project)
