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)
