I have regular discussions with the Defence Secretary and other Cabinet colleagues on a number of matters.<\/p>

<\/p>

The National Shipbuilding Strategy stated that all non-warships, including the Fleet Solid Support ships (FSS) will be competed internationally, confirming the pre-existing procurement strategy for the FSS. The Strategy had collective Government agreement prior to publication. The MOD is required by law to procure FSS through competition in accordance with its obligations under the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations (DSPCR) 2011 where there is no lawful exemption which can be applied. The MOD has actively encouraged UK shipyards to take part in the competition and we anticipate strong bids from UK shipyards.<\/p>

The Scotland Office does not employ staff directly.

As a result of the UK Government\u2019s decisions at the Autumn Budget, the Scottish Government\u2019s budgets will increase by £2 billion, providing it with the opportunity to allocate additional funding to public services and growth in Scotland. This builds on the £350 million increase to the Scottish Government\u2019s budget at Spring Budget 2017. Overall, the Scottish Government\u2019s block grant (before adjustment for tax devolution) will have grown to over £31.1 billion by 2020, a real terms increase over the current Spending Review period.<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition, the Scottish Government has now substantial tax-raising powers to vary the levels of tax and spending in Scotland. Once the Scotland Act 2016 is fully implemented, more than 50% of the Scottish Government\u2019s funding will come from revenues raised in Scotland, making the Scottish Government more accountable to the people it serves.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1512", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for David Mundell"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "David Mundell"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-05-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-05-22T09:15:22.547Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Scotland"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Scotland"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-05-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Public Expenditure: Scotland"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, how much match-funding allocated by the Government the Scottish government has not received as a result of that government not meeting its 5 core economic targets.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4633", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Paul Girvan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Antrim"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Paul Girvan"} ], "uin" : "143853"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/901306", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Scotland Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/901306/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The final decision on location is a matter for Channel 4 alone, not the UK Government, and therefore I have not had any discussions with Channel 4. I warmly welcome the broadcaster\u2019s agreement to move 300 staff out of London, rising over time. Channel 4 has launched a process in which cities and regions across the UK can pitch to become the home of the broadcaster\u2019s new National HQ and creative hubs. As I stated recently, Glasgow has made an ambitious and creative pitch to be the new home of Channel 4, and I\u2019m absolutely certain it would be the right choice.<\/p>
