Answer from Hansard
The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Rachel Reeves)
I am very sorry to see your leg in such a way, Mr Speaker. We are committed to driving growth everywhere. The Budget ensured that Scottish public services are fairly funded, with an extra £820 million for the Scottish Government through the Barnett formula, on top of a record settlement in June this year. We are also investing in transport for city regions, and investing £5 billion in deprived neighbourhoods through the Pride in Place programme, with some of that money going to Scotland.
