Question
To ask the Scottish Government on what date it received funding from the UK Government for the Self-Isolation Support Grant.
Answer
The UK Government recently confirmed an additional £700m guaranteed consequential funding for Scotland, but has not provided a breakdown of how any of the consequentials provided so far relate to particular announcements in England. We will continue to press the UK Government for further support so people will not be forced into hardship because they are doing the right thing by isolating and stopping the transmission of the virus.
