Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent progress the Government has made on fiscal framework negotiations with the Scottish Government.

In June 2022, the UK Government and Scottish Government finalised arrangements for the independent report on tax and welfare Block Grant Adjustments, which was launched on the same day. The call for stakeholder evidence has recently closed, and the report is expected to conclude in October.

The two governments have also discussed the scope for the Fiscal Framework review while the independent report has been underway.
