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)
