The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Spending Review 2025 on Scotland.

Answered by Darren Jones

This Government has ensured the Spending Review delivers for Scotland. The Scottish Government is receiving an average of £50.9 billion per each year between 2026-27 and 2028-29, the largest real terms funding settlement since devolution. It also delivers on the Government’s Plan for Change in Scotland, with measures including providing development funding to advance the delivery of the Acorn carbon capture and storage project.
