Written Question
Public Expenditure: Scotland
Wednesday 3rd November 2021

Asked by: James Daly (Conservative - Bury North)

Question to the Scotland Office:

What assessment he has made of the effect of the 2021 Budget and Spending Review on people and local communities in Scotland.

Answered by Alister Jack - Secretary of State for Scotland

The Scottish Government will receive the biggest funding settlement since devolution began in 1998. An extra £4.6 billion a year in Barnett Consequentials on top of the block grant means a record £41 billion a year for the Scottish Government. So, there can be no excuses for underfunded public services in Scotland.
