In a FoI request published today, but not yet answered by the Scottish Government

The request:

Dear Scottish Government,

The following press release by The SNP :

“The figures show Scotland’s revenue is enough to cover all devolved spending as well as all spending on pensions and other social protection.”

https://www.snp.org/gers-figures-explain…

A
Is it the opinion of The Scottish Government (currently under SNP control), that the quote is factually correct?

B
Where is the data to substantiate the quote above?

Stobartson’s prediction:

My own conclusion and examination of GERS 2019 has what I think is source and supporting evidence for above statement located in the following:

table 1.1 Income
cell b35 = £62,708m

table 3.8 Expenditure
cell v25 = £44,717m (Scottish Government, LAs and Public Corporations)
cell aq22 = £18,022m (Social protection, Other UK Government)

cells aq5 to aq24 (minus aq22) expenditure excluded £12.699m .

£63bn income (minus) £63bn expenditure , as per the SNP press release!

Yours faithfully,

Manfred Stobartson
