To ask the Scottish Executive how much each eligible local authority will receive per head of population from the Cities Growth Fund in 2006-07.
Answer
The provisional amount allocated to each eligible local authority from the Cities Growth Fund in 2006-07, broken down per head of population, is shown in the following table :
| City | Provisional Allocation | Amount per Head of Population |
| | (£ Million) |
| Aberdeen | 5.292 | £26.01 |
| Dundee | 4.208 | £29.66 |
| Edinburgh | 11.195 | £24.68 |
| Glasgow | 18.030 | £31.21 |
| Inverness | 1.407 | £21.13 |
| Stirling | 0.868 | £21.21 |
| Total | 41.000 | |
Notes:
1. Amounts per head of population are derived by dividing the amount allocated to each eligible local authority in each year by population estimates.
2. The population estimates used for the four largest cities are mid-2004 council area population estimates from the General Register Office for Scotland.
3. As the cities of Inverness and Stirling form part of significantly larger local authority areas covering large areas of rural Scotland, the use of council area population estimates would not be appropriate, and separate mid-2004 estimates are not available. The population estimates used are therefore based on the 2001 census data.
