To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the Spring Budget 2023 on Scotland.
Answered on

It is my firm view and assessment that the Chancellor’s Budget will have a positive impact for Scotland, by stimulating the economy, attracting investment and creating jobs.
This is in addition to providing the Scottish Government with an extra £320m in the Spring Budget, an extra £1.5bn in the Autumn Statement, and a record Block Grant settlement of £41bn per year.
