Public opinion on Scottish North Sea oil revenue expenditure 2013 British survey

This statistic shows how citizens of England and Wales, in comparison to Scotland, feel the revenues raised through North Sea oil taxes should be used. People in Scotland are comparatively keen that the monies raised from North Sea oil in Scotland should be used to fund public services in Scotland only, and not be used to help pay for services across the UK as a whole. Public opinion in Scotland is split more or less evenly on the issue. There is no doubt, however, where the balance of public opinion on this subject lies in England and Wales – there most people feel the revenues from north sea oil should be used to help pay for services across the UK as a whole.
