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.
This question was answered on 3rd November 2021
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.
