Budget set to pass as Greens and Liberal Democrats secure significant funds for their spending priorities
The Scottish government expects to pass its budget plans through Holyrood later on Tuesday after the Greens and the Liberal Democrats secured significant extra funding deals in advance of May’s Holyrood election.
The SNP minority government requires the backing of at least one other party to pass its proposals. They were met with criticism from opposition parties and poverty campaigners when they were first set out in January for failing to meet the economic and environmental challenges of Covid recovery.
