Investing for jobs: Capital Spending Review 2021-2022 to 2025-2026

The Capital Spending Review sets out our capital allocations for the financial years 2021-2022 to 2025-2026 which underpins the five-year Infrastructure Investment Plan published alongside it.


Annex A: Portfolio breakdown of capital allocations to level 2 and 3

The table below gives level 2 and 3 capital budget allocations within each portfolio over the five financial years of the Capital Spending Review. Figures for 2021-22 reflect those published in the Scottish Budget 2021-22 and the financial planning assumptions in the Capital Spending Review Framework, published in September 2020.  Budget allocations from the 2020-21 Scottish Budget at introduction are included for comparison purposes.  Where actual levels of capital grant available to the Scottish Government differ from that modelled in any year, adjustments will be made to these allocations as part of the annual budget process and wider engagement about the delivery of Scotland’s shared outcomes and priorities.

Notes:

1 Totals may not sum due to roundings

2 Includes funding to invest in flood risk management from 2021-22 on the profile £10m; £21m (2022-23); £19m (2023-24); £46.5m (2024-25); £53.5m (2025-26). Discussions will be held with COSLA to agree on how the funding should be deployed.

3 Projected income are estimates and will be confirmed in each years' budget

4 Includes funding to support legacy payments under EC schemes, a new round of the Agri-Environment Climate Scheme (AECS 2021) as well as funding for low carbon activities and agricultural support which is being developed following recommendations from farmer-led groups during 2021.  Further detail on the split of funding between different schemes will be provided in annual budgets, starting in 2022-23.

The share of future agricultural schemes related to low carbon investment should remain at least £20m p.a. although they are likely to differ in nature and scale from the prior Agricultural Transformation Fund in future years.  This will meet the ongoing Scottish Government commitments to increase the proportion of low carbon investment year-on-year.

5 This line sets out actual income direct from the EU. £8m and £1.5m are actual income we are getting from EU as a result of continuing schemes.  This funding is expected to be replaced by the UK Government

6 The projected funding set out is based on currently available information however the budget is lower than required because of issues with regards funding from the UK government. The five year programme will be further reviewed once there is further clarity on this position. Our Table below is the additional income we would have expected from the EU and which the UK Government had committed to replace in full.  It covers agricultural support schemes and woodland creation.

7 Due to the nature of the Programme and implementation we do not have a definitive split between the two lines. The funding will be split appropriately as part of the budget setting process for those years.

8 This includes a proportion of UK Government funding
