Commenting on the Chancellor's Autumn Budget, Miles Briggs has said:
“I am delighted that the UK budget has exempted Police Scotland and Scotland Fire and Rescue Service from VAT. The Scottish Conservatives have campaigned hard to tidy up the mess created by the SNP.
“I welcome the additional £2 billion in funding for Scotland set out in the UK budget and I urge the Scottish Government to use the funds effectively to strengthen Scotland’s economy and improve public services.”
