'These figures should be a wake-up call'
THE SNP has called for a capital funding boast and action to curb rising fuel bills, as Labour prepares its first Budget in 15 years.
SNP Finance Secretary Shona Robison, who froze all capital projects in Scotland’s NHS this year, called for Chancellor Rachel Reeves to release more cash to build amid a “deeply challenging financial situation.”
In response, a Treasury spokesperson stated “the Scottish government receives over 20 per cent more funding per person than equivalent UK government spending in other parts of the UK.”
