Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what progress has been made on negotiations between the Government and the Scottish Government on the Fiscal Framework.
In October 2021, the UK Government 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.
