Reeves announces extra £820m funding for Scotland in Budget

The chancellor has announced an extra £820m for the Scottish Government as part of the UK Budget.

Rachel Reeves set out her fiscal plans, with a raft of changes to taxes and spending.

It came after an unprecedented early leak of the details online – a blunder she described as “deeply disappointing”.

Some of the most significant measures announced today include the removal of the two-child benefit cap.

There will also be a rise in the national minimum wage for workers and a new tax for electric vehicles.

It will be a mileage-based charge, starting in 2028.

The chancellor also announced investment in Scottish towns to promote growth.

Grangemouth, Greenock and Kirkcaldy will all receive a boost.
