Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with (1) the government of Scotland, and (2) the government of Wales, to facilitate economic growth across the United Kingdom.

Economic growth is the central mission of this Government, as it is vital to raising prosperity and living standards across all parts of the UK.

The Government established the biannual Council of the Nations and Regions on 11 October 2024. This forum brings together ministers from the UK government and the devolved administrations, reaffirming a shared commitment to work collaboratively to unlock investment, support regional economies, and drive economic growth across the UK.

In addition to this forum, ministers and officials regularly engage with their counterparts in the Scottish and Welsh Governments to discuss the delivery of the growth mission.
