I'm sure David C. or someone else will explain in due course, but it's not necessarily down to the Scottish. There is 'Other income' of £10,816 - this could be sponsorship or something similar for the Scottish?
On the 'plus' side it looks like a lot of savings have been made on the Office and related expenses, but the International spend far outweighs the contributions towards it - not unusual I imagine (the ECForum has been discussing similar matters south of the border this week).
Is the Commonwealth/Scottish this year expected to be a 'money-spinner' or a drain on our funds? These events generate a lot of money for everything connected to big events (hotels/restaurants, etc.)- hopefully it will also put something back in the CS kitty
