The meaning of the word ?benefits? is ?advantages?. If I had wanted to refer to what some observers thought I meant, I would have used the terms ?social security? or ?welfare?, not benefits. The benefits enjoyed by Scotland are inter alia the Barnett formula, freedom from tuition fees, reduced and soon to be abolished prescription charges, higher NHS spending per capita, special BBC provision.
