I do not, of course, dispute the figures that you have presented above, but nor do those figures in any way contradict what I have suggested. Scotland has only a small percentage of UK population, thus significant revenues in a few sectors can have a big impact on how we interpret the figures. I have already given an example in the case of North Sea oil and gas and its impact on per capita GDP.

But I think we at least both agree that it is not about money in the end.
