NOT ENOUGH

Sturgeon hits out at Hunt's 'missed opportunity' to help struggling Scots

- ANDREW QUINN

AN EXTRA £320million for Scotland from the UK Budget does not go far enough to address the cost-of-living crisis, Nicola Sturgeon has said.

The First Minister welcomed the "limited additional funding" but said significant strain would remain on the Scottish Government's budget.

The additional cash is allocated to Holyrood ministers through Barnett consequential as a result of spending decisions for England.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt also announced the energy price guarantee will be frozen at £2500 for at least another three months.

Addressing the Budget during First Minister's Questions at Holyrood yesterday, Sturgeon said: "While any limited additional money for the Scottish Government budget is welcome, it does not go nearly far enough.
