Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Neil Shastri-Hurst and Ian Murray

Wednesday 4th December 2024 Commons Chamber

[Ian Murray]

I have a lot of respect for the hon. Lady, but this is another instance where the Opposition parties in this Chamber want all the benefits of the Budget, but they do not want to be able to pay for it. We have announced the largest settlement for Scotland in devolution’s history: £47.7 billion, which is £4.9 billion extra. The Chancellor delivered £4.9 billion extra in Barnett consequentials alone from this Dispatch Box during the Budget—the SNP voted against it, but will spend it today.

[Dr Neil Shastri-Hurst (Solihull West and Shirley) (Con)]

2. What steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help support veterans in Scotland.
