Holyrood’s Finance Secretary has insisted her Budget for the coming year will “put the people of Scotland first” and will lay the “foundations for long-term success” for the country.
Shona Robison spoke out ahead of unveiling her tax and spending plans for 2025-26 to MSPs, claiming these would help tackle the climate emergency as well as delivering on the “people’s priorities”, such as tackling child poverty and improving public services.
The Scottish Finance Secretary said: “Unlike the UK Government’s Budget which treated Scotland like an afterthought, today we will publish a Budget that puts the people of Scotland first.”
