Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of the Glasgow city region deal to date.
The Glasgow City Region Deal is a 20 year programme of investment supported by both the UK and Scottish Governments.
To date, the UK Government has paid £45m to the Glasgow City Region Deal partners, a sum that has been matched by the Scottish Government. Accordingly, the total cost to the public purse so far is £90m.
