Pre-Budget Report

Given that the First Minister of Scotland has at his disposal nearly double what our late colleague Donald Dewar had only eight years ago, one would have thought that he could have made sure that he, too, was helping the economy in Scotland.

Perhaps he has gone to phone the First Minister to find out what he is doing.
