Scotland

Asked to characterise how the Prime Minister viewed the current relationship between the UK Government and the Scottish Government, the PMS replied that it was businesslike.

Asked if the Prime Minister would reply to Alex Salmond on the Foot and Mouth farming debate, the PMS replied that it was a matter for the Secretary of State.

Put that there was a significant amount of taxes paid particularly from the South of England, being invested in Scotland and was there anything being done to solve the problem, the PMS replied that there were no plans to reform the Barnett Formula.

Asked if there had been any rethinking on the sharing of information and the way in which civil servants from the British and Scottish Government’s work, the PMS replied that it was something that may need to be considered, but these were matters for the Cabinet Office.
