Purpose and reliability of the GERS report
Dear Scottish Government,
I am writing to request the following information regarding the annual Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland report.
- What is the purpose of the GERS report and what function does it serve in the day to day running of the Scottish Government?
- Is it true the statistics within GERS are estimated? If so, how are they estimated?
- If the above is true, can GERS be considered a reliable source of information on current Scottish finances?
Yours faithfully,
Kenneth Anderson
