    FORECASTS FOR SCOTLAND&#8217;S OIL REVENUES


    2012-13

    £6.7 billion &#8230; OBR forecast (scenario 1)
    £6.9 to £7.2 billion &#8230; SNP forecast (scenarios 2 to 5)

    £5.6 billion &#8230; ACTUAL revenues (GERS)

    So in March 2013, when the fiscal year 2012-13 was almost over and the UK oil revenues for three quarters were published (!!!), the SNP government OVERestimated Scotland&#8217;s 2012-13 oil revenues by £1.3 to 1.6 billion = by 23% to 29%.


    2013-14

    £6.2 billion &#8230; OBR forecast (scenario 1)
    £7.1 to £8.3 billion &#8230; SNP forecasts (scenarios 2 to 5)

    £4.0 billion &#8230; ACTUAL revenues (sum of GERS quarterly figures)

    In March 2013, the SNP government OVERestimated Scotland&#8217;s oil revenues for the NEXT fiscal year 2013-14 by £3.1 to 4.3 billion = by 80% to 110%

    We never really liked you.

    Unless there's more oil than any **** thought, in which case; "I say Jock old chap, be a sport and give us a blast on your bagpipes".
