HS2, What is Scotland's contribution?
Dear Her Majesty's Treasury,
What charges / contributions are made against Scotland's budget in relation to HS2?
I note Statement of Funding Policy Document , states Scotland receives 100% of expenditure under the Barnett Formula.
A grey area and the main reason for my FOI request is to be certain that a % of HS2 is charged to Scotland or not.
Scottish Government via a FOI request when asked 'How much of HS2 rail link is paid for by Scotland' , answered ambiguously that 'The Scottish Government has not contributed any funds to the HS2 rail link budget' (which could leave the door open to suggestion that UK department's might be doing so!)
Yours faithfully,
Mary Jones
