Scottish Labour’s finance spokesman Michael Marra said: “This Budget is only possible because the UK Labour Government delivered a £5.2 billion uplift to Scotland’s budget – resulting in the largest budget settlement in the history of devolution.
Scottish Conservative finance spokesman Craig Hoy said: “The Scottish Conservatives will be the only party showing common sense and voting against this dire and damaging SNP Budget.
Green MSP Ross Greer said his party had secured a trial of a bus fare cap and expanded free school meals, contrasting this with “the antics of Scottish Labour, who asked for nothing and got nothing”.
Scottish Labour has said it will abstain on the Budget Bill, while the Conservatives are expected to oppose it.
The SNP’s Budget Bill is set to clear its final parliamentary hurdle on Tuesday, as MSPs prepare for the Stage 3 vote on the tax and spending plans.
