As I said, today is the final day of the Scottish Budget. That is why we do not have the fully published document today. There are a few minor technical and implementation issues from the agreement that need to be finalised. However, I have given a commitment to the House, and my strong expectation is that that agreement will be published tomorrow.

I can only repeat what I said earlier: there is no additional cost to the taxpayers of England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
