The Scottish Government’s emergency budget review has been delayed by at least a week, after what John Swinney called “economic turmoil”.
The Deputy First Minister, who is also acting as Finance Secretary, said his review of ministerial budgets would be published after 31 October – when a fiscal statement from Rishi Sunak’s new administration is expected.
Swinney was due to present his emergency budget review at Holyrood this week.
