Scottish Affairs Committee
@CommonsScotAffs
We're a cross-party group of @HouseOfCommons MPs working together to scrutinise the UK Government's work in Scotland. See what we're working on 👇
We've published the report from our inquiry into the financing of the Scottish Government. While we ultimately found the Barnett Formula is fit for purpose and we broadly accept its continued use, we've set out recommendations on improving its operation in practice.
Our Chair, @PJFerguson18, asked the Prime Minister whether he thinks the number of new jobs being created at Grangemouth and as a result of the wider North Sea transition can keep pace with the number of jobs being lost.
As Chair of the Scottish Affairs Committee, @PJFerguson18 is also a member of @CommonsLiaison. From 2.30pm today, the Liaison Committee will question the Prime Minister on the Government's priorities for dealing with poverty in the UK. Find out more 👇
We will focus on poverty in questions to the Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. There will also be questions on international affairs. Watch live on Monday 21 July at 2.30pm. Find out more information about the hearing on our website: committees.parliament.uk/committee/103/…
