Interesting paper from Glasgow Uni on the cuts affecting local government - (albeit its a year old): It does appear that there is an overall bias of the cuts, whereby these are greater in percentage terms (-1.9% vs +2.3%) in the most deprived versus the least deprived authorities, a difference of £90 per capita. This is the same order of difference as was found in England. It suggests that, notwithstanding the Scottish Government’s different rhetoric and policies about poverty, the practical reality of its local government finance system and decision making is no different in overall terms. Oh the bold SNP... Theyre the yellow Tories! See pg 35 on for this section gla.ac.uk/media/media_296671_en.pdf
