Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what further 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. Following a successful call for stakeholder evidence, the report is now being finalised by the independent authors and is expected to be presented to both governments imminently.

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