A lack of recent meetings between the Scottish Government and the Treasury is an “issue of concern”, First Minister John Swinney has said ahead of the Chancellor’s spending review.

Rachel Reeves will lay out her spending priorities on Wednesday, with funding increases expected for the NHS and education – which will result in greater cash for Scotland.
