Conduct of the Right Hon. Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip

My hon. Friend is absolutely right�it is yet another missed opportunity by the Scottish National party.

I remind those on the SNP Benches that this Government are committed to investing and levelling up across Scotland. We are delivering, after all, an average funding boost of �4.6 billion per year through the Barnett formula over the spending review period. That will enable investment in transport, schools, housing, health and social care. That takes the total that Scotland receives in Barnett-based funding to �41 billion per year�an increase of 2.4%�to spend on public services, boost growth and support families with the cost of living. In fact, current public spending per person in Scotland is �1,828 higher than the UK average, while revenue per person is �382 lower.
