Question to the HM Treasury:

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

In October 2021 we reached agreement with the Scottish Government to jointly commission an independent report that will cover the Block Grant Adjustment arrangements. This independent report will inform a broader review of the Scottish Government’s Fiscal Framework later this year.

We are currently working with the Scottish Government to finalise the arrangements for commissioning the independent report.
