The chancellor has announced an extra £820m for the Scottish Government as part of the UK Budget.

Rachel Reeves unveiled her second, much-anticipated UK budget in the House of Commons on Wednesday, which contained a raft of tax and spending changes.

She said the money will come from Barnett consequentials for Scotland over the current spending review period.

She also mentioned a £14m investment in low-carbon technology at Grangemouth, where an oil refinery closed earlier this year, as well as £20m to renew infrastructure at Inverclyde’s Inchgreen Marine Park facilities and £20m to redevelop Kirkcaldy town centre and seafront, with construction set to start next year.
