Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, how much his Department has spent on literature relating to the Scotland Bill.

The UK Government has undertaken a range of engagements to ensure that people across Scotland have the opportunity to give their views on the significant new powers being delivered to Scotland via the Scotland Bill. The production of the literature and promotional material to accompany this work has been led in-house by the Scotland Office, alongside communications relating to the rest of the Department’s work. As a result, specific costs of £450 (excluding VAT) have been limited to the external printing of information booklets to support public engagements.
