I'm trying to dig up the figures the COI emitted in 1997 just before John Major was kicked out of Downing Street; they suggested a £40Bn net flow of revenue from North to South during the 1980s, mostly due to tax on oil revenue. Can't find it right now, but stubbed my toe on it and went "ow" at the time it made the newspapers.
