Central government spending in the United Kingdom, also called public expenditure, is the responsibility of the UK government, the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government and the Northern Ireland Executive. Spending per head is significantly higher in Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland than it is in England. In the case of Scotland, however, although public spending is greater than the United Kingdom average, this is because Scotland produces more tax than people in England, Northern Ireland and Wales.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Scottish Government )〕 Indeed, Scotland has produced more tax per head than any other UK nation in every single year dating back to 1980 due to oil revenues. As of 2014 and the release of the GERS report, Scotland was in relative deficit compared to the rest of the UK and received a net subsidy from the UK government, this deficit was attributed to declining oil revenues. This condition is predicted to only get worse as oil revenues fall further.〔http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2014/03/7888〕 ], "axes": , "legends": ( } } } ), "marks": }, "marks": ( , "y": , "stroke": } } }, , "size": , "shape": , "stroke": } } }, , "y2": , "stroke": , "strokeWidth": } } } ) } ] } The graph shows spending by sector with prices adjusted for inflation.
