To ask the Scottish Executive what steps other city councils would be required to take in order to access supplementary funding to meet additional costs, similar to the capital city supplement awarded to the City of Edinburgh Council.
Answer
Other councils may receive additional support from time to time in recognition of exceptional or special circumstances. For example, Aberdeen City Council was given initial consent by the Scottish Government in December 2008 to borrow £11.7 million to enable it to meet certain revenue costs.

To ask the Scottish Executive what the City of Edinburgh Council’s allocation is under the capital city supplement for each of the next three years.
Answer
Included within the resources in the Scottish Government''s Budget Bill for 2009-10 is an additional sum of £3.5 million which will be allocated to the City of Edinburgh Council in recognition of those unique cost factors the council incurs as Scotland''s capital city. Subject to the Parliament''s approval of the bill and the Local Government Finance Order for 2009-10, this amount will then be baselined.
