Economic Situation: Scotland

Question

What recent discussions he has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the strength of the economy in Scotland.

Answer

Scotland’s economy grew in 2023 and our back to work plan is working with fewer people inactive. We have achieved this alongside our priority of halving inflation.

I’m sure my Honourable Friend was also pleased to hear the growth measures we will take to keep Scotland prospering that were announced at the Budget today.
