I don't know where you are getting your figures from but with 9.9% of
income and 9.3% of spending it is not Scotland who is subsidised.
Unemployment in Scotland is lower than in the rest of the UK and
health is a devolved power, already included in Scottish spending.


As I said, you can only claim 9.9% if you include all tax income from
North Sea oil. which Salmond does, but HM Treasury does not. The non-oil
tax revenue from Scotland is 8.3%.
