Expenditure on the new Parliament building at Holyrood has been less than the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body’s (SPCB) approved annual budget for each financial year since the commencement of the project. There has therefore been no overspend against budget. The expenditure, net of reclaimable VAT, for each year is shown in the table below.
Year | £ Million
1999-2000 | 13.7
2001-01 | 27.1
2001-02 | 44.4
