THE date for the next Scottish budget has been announced amid heightened uncertainty caused by the rogue Westminster government.
John Swinney said on Thursday that Holyrood will be presented with the next budget on December 15 – but warned continuing “turmoil and uncertainty” around the UK’s budget – which needs to come before Scotland’s – is causing concern among officials in Edinburgh.
It was the last possible date the timing for the next update could be announced because of concern about the timing needed for independent scrutiny of the Government’s plans.
