Scottish Government commissions independent budget review

The Scottish Government has commissioned an independent review of public expenditure in Scotland. The purpose of the review is to inform public and Parliamentary debate in advance of the next Comprehensive Spending Review, expected in autumn 2010, about the challenges and choices that will exist in a significantly constrained public spending environment and to ensure priorities can be established.

How to contribute to the review?

The Review Panel is inviting written submissions, to inform its work, from individuals, from representative bodies and from organisations which themselves need to address the expenditure challenge. Written submissions are requested by Monday 12 April 2010.

If you are interested in making a submission to the Review Panel further details about the review and how to respond are available on the Scottish Government website:
