The Scottish Fiscal Commission says today that managing the Scottish public finances will be very difficult again in the coming financial year. Their latest economic and fiscal forecasts also show the effects of COVID will be felt for a long time.<br />
 <br />
The Scottish Government is implementing public health measures to control COVID and at the same time introducing policies to reduce the ensuing economic harm to people and businesses. The funding available to the Scottish Government continues to change: additional COVID funding rose from £3.5 billion in April to £8.6 billion in December. It is now clear the pandemic will continue into the next financial year and  the UK Budget in March is likely to include additional UK spending on COVID. More funding later in the financial year remains a possibility.  Any further increases in UK Government spending on COVID in devolved areas, such as health, in 2021 will feed through to the Scottish Government.<br />
 <br />
All of this makes it harder for the Scottish Government to balance its budget. Increases in funding are welcome and important, but the later they happen in the budget year, the harder it is for the Scottish Government to spend them effectively.<br />
 <br />
The Commission forecasts the latest lockdown will reduce economic activity in the first quarter of 2021 by 5 per cent. The effect on GDP is expected to be less than in the first lockdown because more sectors of the economy, like construction and manufacturing, are staying open.<br />
 <br />
The OBR’s November 2020 forecasts were made before the current lockdown was announced and so took a more optimistic view of the UK economy than the Commission’s forecasts for Scotland published today. As a result the criteria for a “Scotland-specific economic shock” are met, giving the Scottish Government additional borrowing powers for the next three years.<br />

The Scottish Fiscal Commission says today that managing the Scottish public finances will be very difficult again in the coming financial year. Their latest economic and fiscal forecasts also show the effects of COVID will be felt for a long time.<br />
 <br />
The Scottish Government is implementing public health measures to control COVID and at the same time introducing policies to reduce the ensuing economic harm to people and businesses. The funding available to the Scottish Government continues to change: additional COVID funding rose from £3.5 billion in April to £8.6 billion in December. It is now clear the pandemic will continue into the next financial year and  the UK Budget in March is likely to include additional UK spending on COVID. More funding later in the financial year remains a possibility.  Any further increases in UK Government spending on COVID in devolved areas, such as health, in 2021 will feed through to the Scottish Government.<br />
 <br />
All of this makes it harder for the Scottish Government to balance its budget. Increases in funding are welcome and important, but the later they happen in the budget year, the harder it is for the Scottish Government to spend them effectively.<br />

<br />
The Scottish Trade Union campaign to tackle Corporate Homicide is as old as the Scottish Parliament.  From 2006 the received wisdom has been because any Act would relate to H&S, which is not devolved, the Scottish Parliament may not have legislative competence.<br />
<br />
This view was clearly politically motivated at the time but it has remained received wisdom within the civil service.<br />
<br />
The Trade Unions’ campaign however will not go away.  Trade Unions’ believe there is a solution using a previously untested section of the Scotland Act.<br />
<br />
We call upon the political will of the Scottish Government to look at this alternative and right the political wrongs of previous Scottish Executives - it is a win-win.<br />

HOLYROOD MARKS FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF SOCIAL SECURITY SCOTLAND<br />
 <br />
“FAIRNESS, DIGNITY AND RESPECT” NOW AT HEART OF SYSTEM<br />
 <br />
The Scottish Parliament celebrated the first anniversary of Social Security Scotland, in a debate led by SNP MSP Shona Robison.<br />
 <br />
The agency made its first payments in September 2018, delivering the Carer’s Allowance Supplement – which has helped around 77,500 people - and the Best Start Grant - which has supported almost 10,000 low-income families.<br />
 <br />
Social Security Scotland will also deliver a new £10 Scottish Child Payment - described as a “game changer” by anti-poverty campaigners and estimated to lift 30,000 children out of poverty – ahead of schedule in 2020.<br />
 <br />
Speaking in the debate, Shona Robison MSP said:<br />
 <br />
“It was a proud moment for me when this parliament passed the Social Security (Scotland) Bill. <br />
 <br />
“It was a proud moment for all of us who want to see a fairer, more respectful and dignified Scotland.<br />
 <br />
“The first year has been a success – bringing over 700 jobs to my constituency in Dundee, and delivering face to face support to those who need it.<br />
 <br />
“Let’s not forget the words of the UN’s Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights who said that UK Government compassion for those who are suffering has been replaced by a punitive, mean-spirited, and often callous approach to welfare.<br />
 <br />
“And to that end, I echo Social Security Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville when she calls for all social security to be devolved to Scotland to create a system with the people of Scotland for the people of Scotland.’’   <br />
 <br />
“The UN letter declares that the poverty is a political choice. Let’s choose to end poverty.”<br />

  • SNP Spring Conference, Saturday 27th April 2019<br />
<br />
SNP Trades Union Group fringe meeting<br />
<br />
The Scottish Trade Union campaign to tackle Corporate Homicide is as old as the Scottish Parliament.  From 2006 the received wisdom has been because any Act would relate to H&S, which is not devolved, the Scottish Parliament may not have legislative competence.<br />
<br />
This view was clearly politically motivated at the time but it has remained received wisdom within the civil service.<br />
<br />
The Trade Unions’ campaign however will not go away.  Trade Unions’ believe there is a solution using a previously untested section of the Scotland Act.<br />
<br />
We call upon the political will of the Scottish Government to look at this alternative and right the political wrongs of previous Scottish Executives - it is a win-win.<br />
<br />
This is arranged jointly by the TUG and Scottish Hazards and the Speakers are:<br />
<br />
Patrick McGuire, Legal Advisor to Scottish Hazards<br />
<br />
Lynn Henderson,  Past President, Scottish Trades Union Congress<br />
<br />
Chris Stephens MP, Shadow SNP Spokesperson (Fair Work and Employment)<br />
